@classbell.bsky.socialA parent thread is not a private channel.
Classbell's school management system makes every parent–teacher conversation visible to safeguarding from the moment it opens, says so on the thread, and stamps every reply. Nothing to switch off.

AI changes the scale & form of abuse but the underlying safeguarding challenge remains the same: we need systems, professionals & platforms that can adapt quickly enough to recognise new risks & protect children before harm spreads further.
