The data is in and it should stop every parent in their tracks.

Today, we released our 2025 Annual Report. Inside is a year’s worth of real data showing what teens and tweens actually experienced online, plus the apps and platforms where problems show up most often.

In 2025 alone, we processed 11.1 billion activities across text, email, YouTube, and 30+ apps and social platforms. What it reveals is impossible to ignore.

This report offers a clear, honest look into your child’s digital world. If you want to understand what kids are facing right now, this is where to start: https://t.co/VugKXxZGVD

“A young teen gets a message from someone online. Maybe they meet through social media, a messaging app, or a gaming platform. The person seems understanding. They know what to say. They build trust.

Then the conversation changes.”

Just because a platform says it’s safe for kids, doesn’t mean it actually is.

Parents, now is the time to talk to your kid about AI, the risks, and set digital guardrails. We have tools to help.

“...there is hope, and you will make it through. Sending those pictures was the biggest mistake of my life, calling someone I trusted was one of the best because I still have my life. I’m so glad I picked up the phone and found help rather than doing what felt like the only option in the moment.”

"I tell parents to start early, talk often, listen intently… And don't feel like you have to have all of the answers."

Parents, start the conversation about AI with your child this week. Keep reminding them that while chatbots can be a useful tool, they cannot replace real relationships or professional help.

As sextortion rates continue to climb, parents need resources to fight back now more than ever. There are tools available to help you learn what red flags to look for, how to start the conversation with your child, and what to do if someone targets them.

“This isn’t a hypothetical risk or something confined to celebrities and public figures. Children are already experiencing it at scale… AI has changed the equation.”

@jonathan_gorgas Sorry to hear this! Please reach out again & ask for a senior support team member. Let them know you've been having issues since day one & that you've already tried the standard troubleshooting–that way they can skip the basics & dig into what's actually going wrong.

“If you decide it is time for your kid's first phone, plenty more questions arise, starting with what kind of device makes the most sense… Taking the time to understand your options can help you choose a device that matches your child's current level of independence while leaving room to grow.”

“...you know who else has some issues with social media, screen time and the addictive nature of devices? Quite a few of the tech executives in Silicon Valley, at least when it comes to their own households.”

@patricksp71 The Bark Phone and Bark Watch only work on cell service within the US, including Alaska and Hawaii. When traveling abroad, even on Wi-Fi, we can't guarantee all features will work. More here: https://t.co/NI7PceNAok

There's a specific moment many parents dread: the day their kid says, "Everyone else has a phone." And somehow, it always seems to come too soon after finally allowing them to have a smart watch. So what is the right age to give your child a phone?

@patricksp71 We're sorry to hear of this situation, but so very glad someone was alerted and able to intervene. Thanks so much for your support and trust in us to help keep your family safer.

Hi there, we're really sorry our support team wasn't able to get you the help you needed, that's not the experience we want for you. We'd love the chance to make it right and get you back on track, if you're open to it. Please reach out to our escalated support team here, and just ask for a human to skip past the AI assistant: https://t.co/4HOq3zPkb5. We're here to help.
