My 14-year-old has a history of issues with porn, and part of getting him the support he needs is setting some boundaries for all his internet use. Bark has helped me and my husband block porn from his phone and computer, and the difference it has made in his mental health is absolutely astonishing.

I’m just at a loss for words, to be honest. I started blocking porn on my 9-year-old’s Chromebook just as an extra security measure. I never ever thought it was necessary. Bark alerted me to pornographic images his cousin was sending him, and my heart dropped. When I talked with him, the floodgates opened. He had been SO scared to tell me, and had WANTED help. Thank you so much, Bark. My child is in a better place and we have a stronger relationship than ever.

A lot of porn blockers I’ve researched just block Pornhub and other sites like that. What I love about Bark is that it handles absolutely everything. My daughter’s boyfriend sent her a pasta emoji, for example, and Bark let me know that means he were asking for nudes. Also, Bark knows all the places kids see porn that isn’t just on Safari. I could not be more grateful.

My daughter (11) was shown pornographic images by a neighbor last year. Little did we know, that turned into lots of googling things she wasn’t ready to see. Now, we use Bark to blog porn so she can heal and now she gets her information about sex from me and her father — not the whole internet.
