The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) rolled out a new AI tool on May 14, 2026, designed to give parents fast, trustworthy answers about their children and technology.
“While Big Tech offers AI assistance tools, they are unregulated and can provide misleading information,” said Layne Shill, Director of the Parent Center at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. “NCOSE’s Parent Center AI tool draws on reliable sources and was created by parents, for parents.”

The chatbot anchors NCOSE’s brand-new Parent Center, an online hub built to equip parents trying to keep pace with the apps, algorithms and group chats running their kids’ lives. It lives at parentcenter.org and tackles the questions families actually wrestle with — not the polished ones they wish they faced.
Sample prompts from the launch announcement include “Is Roblox safe for my 10-year-old?” and “My teen was sextorted — what should I do now?” Other test questions cover screen time boundaries and what to do when a child stumbles onto pornography through friends.
Until recently, parents Googling those questions have landed in a swamp of marketing copy, contradictory advice and AI chatbots running on the same Big Tech platforms feeding the problem. NCOSE built this one as a deliberate alternative.
“Children face a relentless wave of sexual exploitation directed at them when they are online, and parents are often overwhelmed and unsure where to start to protect their children from harm,” Shill said. “Current tech solutions like parental controls are hard to keep up with, inconsistent, and often hard to understand.”
The launch dovetails with NCOSE’s broader campaign to keep heat on the companies shaping kids’ digital habits. In April, the organization named Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg personally to its 2026 Dirty Dozen List — its yearly roll call of mainstream actors accused of enabling sexual exploitation.
Amazon, Android, Apple, Discord, Grok, Snapchat, Steam, Telegram, TikTok and X also made this year’s list, as Movieguide® reported in April. The Dirty Dozen has run annually since 2013, and it has produced concrete policy changes from named companies over the years.
Movieguide® has tracked NCOSE’s work for years — its lawsuits, its legislative pushes, its annual reports calling out the industry’s worst offenders. The new AI tool marks a shift in tone, though. Less courtroom, more kitchen table.
That shift matters. Calling out bad actors doesn’t fix the situation for the mom or dad already in crisis at 9 p.m. on a Tuesday, phone in hand, with no idea what their kid just downloaded.
Christian parents know the bigger picture here. Scripture treats children as a gift to protect, not a market to monetize, and any real-time tool that helps families push back against a culture that hands kids a phone and disappears is worth a closer look.
Founded in 1962, NCOSE bills itself as the leading national nonprofit exposing the links between pornography, prostitution, sex trafficking and child sexual abuse. The Parent Center pushes that mission past policy battles and into the everyday choices unfolding in living rooms across the country.
Parents who want to try the AI tool can find it at parentcenter.org.
