Has your child received a hurtful, threatening or inappropriate message online? Not sure how to react? Monster Messenger is here to guide you. Developed by Centres Relier, a French non-profit organization specializing in supporting young people affected by violence and online abuse, and their families,, Monster Messenger is a caring conversational assistant that helps parents support their children through difficult situations experienced on the internet. How it works: Describe the situation to Monster Messenger — it asks you the right questions, analyses the context and offers concrete, tailored advice: how to talk about it with your child, how to report it, how to document it, how to protect them. Scientifically validated content: Monster Messenger draws on reference content developed and validated by a scientific arbitration and ethics committee. The advice provided is based on recognised approaches to preventing online abuse and supporting families. In an emergency, the app directs you to the relevant support services (helplines, authorities, specialised resources). Designed for families: • Parent mode and Teen mode • Available in multiple languages • Private conversations, no data shared • Parental consent required from age 12 To face these issues together: • Cyberbullying • Threatening or humiliating messages • Online blackmail • Suspicious or unknown contacts • Digital wellbeing concerns Monster Messenger doesn't replace professionals — it helps you avoid facing these situations alone, and act quickly and well. Monster Messenger supports young people from the earliest age, from their very first phone through the teenage years, with parental consent. A young person's conversations are never visible to their parents, and vice versa — everyone chats with the assistant in complete confidentiality.
