Suggested output

Suggested output

Provide specific safeguards, definitions, exceptions, and review triggers that reduce foreseeable harm.

No private intake

Keep feedback public-policy focused.

Do not send child names, allegations, medical files, school records, sealed filings, confidential court documents, or identifying private case narratives. Use public-process examples, anonymized patterns, sources, and proposed language.

Legal boundary

Public education, not legal advice

FOCaF materials can help families organize questions, dates, documents, and next steps. They do not create an attorney-client relationship and do not replace advice from a qualified professional.

Safety boundary

Safety overrides site content

If someone is in immediate danger, use emergency and crisis resources first. Do not use this site to submit private allegations, child names, sealed records, medical files, or confidential court materials.

Child-first boundary

Children should not carry adult conflict

Tools are designed to reduce adult confusion and pressure, not to make children document adult disputes, choose sides, or act as messengers.
