You should be able to see where information came from, what has been checked, and where our limits are.
Who prepares the content
Safer Not Scared prepares and maintains the educational material on this site, with AI assistance where described on our About page. We do not present AI output as qualified professional review. Named reviewers and credentials will appear only after their participation has been confirmed.
What a source-check date means
A source-check date records when a linked source was consulted. It does not guarantee that a platform setting is still in the same place, a law remains enforceable, or a guide has received expert approval. Qualified legal, medical, and safeguarding review is pending unless a page explicitly identifies a completed review.
How we label state updates
- Proposed: a bill or proposal, not an enacted requirement.
- Enacted: adopted legislation; the effective date and any limits still matter.
- Effective: a specified provision's start date, checked against the source.
- Court decision: a dated order that may be affected by later proceedings.
- Explainer: background education, not a report that the law changed this week.
Legal updates link to official sources and distinguish the publication date from the date of the event. We do not describe a quiet search as proof that nothing changed.
Corrections
If a link breaks, a setting moves, or a summary seems inaccurate, email [email protected] with the page address and the correction. Please do not include passwords, a child's private details, or descriptions of a specific incident. We review the source and update the affected page; material corrections should explain what changed.
