Welcome to DigiShield Kids
Empowering parents to protect children online — with knowledge, not censorship.
The internet is the most powerful playground in history, but it wasn’t built with children in mind. Every day, kids collide with unsafe videos, viral dares, manipulative algorithms, and strangers pretending to be friends. Big Tech promises tweaks. Governments promise rules. Meanwhile, parents are left to guess.
DigiShield Kids exists to change that. We put parents first, with clear information on what’s really happening online, the exact steps that make a difference, and safe alternatives your kids will actually love.
Our ethos
No scare tactics. No surveillance. No censorship.
Just truth, tools, and trust, so you stay in charge of your family’s digital life.
What you’ll get here
Guides & checklists: practical, 10-minute fixes for YouTube, TikTok, Roblox, Discord, consoles, and phones.
Investigations: walk-through exposés (what a child actually sees, how risks spread, how to stop them).
Safe lists by age: curated channels, podcasts, and games that build skills, not addictions.
Red Alerts (also coming with the app): early warnings on viral trends.
Premium briefings: deeper open-source intelligence reports and toolkits (optional paid subscription).
Start here: 10 minute device hygiene (do this tonight)
YouTube / YouTube Kids: enable Restricted Mode, turn off autoplay, log out on shared TVs.
TikTok: set up Family Pairing (link your account to theirs), limit DMs to friends only or off.
Roblox: Under-13 account, disable chat or friends-only, link to parent account for more safety controls
Consoles (PS/Xbox/Switch): create a child profile, set age rating limits, add an access PIN.
Phones: app store require password/biometrics, disable unknown app installs, review notifications.
