Computer systems that put parents in control of their KID's online safety: the state of a KID (e.g., emotional state), induced by content from a social media platform, triggers PARENT-prescribed actions by the KID's computer system comprising at least one of blocking the content and informing at least one of the PARENT, the KID, and the social media platform of the induced state

Abstract

A KID's computer system is configured by PARENT-controlled software, giving each PARENT the power and responsibility to control the social media content being presented to their KID. The PARENT prescribes the criteria for action to be taken; and the PARENT prescribes the action to be taken by the KID's computer system. The PARENT-prescribed criteria comprises a list of BAAE-type states, e.g., emotional state. If one of these states is induced in the KID when they accessed the content from a Social Media Platform, then it triggers a PARENT-prescribed action. The list of possible PARENT-prescribed actions comprises at least the following: blocking the content, informing the KID, the PARENT, the Social Media Platform, School Authorities, Law Enforcement, Health Authorities of the KID's state, and archiving the event-data. The archived event-data is analyzed to discover harmful behavior patterns, e.g., lack of self-control, exhibited by the KID vis-à-vis social media content.
