Technology changes by the second, leaving parents feeling like their children’s digital world is out of their control. But it’s not.

Bark is an accurate, efficient and robust tool for helping parents keep their children safe online. With sophisticated technologies that go well beyond simple keyword matching or requiring parents to monitor all of their children’s online activities, Bark alerts parents only when there is a credible threat – be it sexting, cyberbullying, Internet predators or even suicidal thoughts. These alerts, combined with research-based recommendations for addressing the issue head-on, put more power in parents’ hands to address digital dangers. Plus, because Bark is unobtrusive, it helps parents build trust and truly partner with their children for online safety.
