Kavi's Funny Feeling

Kavi the owl is playing a game when a bright box pops up: "🎁 YOU WON! Type your name, your home and a photo!" Kavi's tummy feels funny. "That feels wrong…" she hoots. She doesn't type. She doesn't tap. She flies straight to a grown-up she trusts. "This popped up and it felt scary." The grown-up smiles. "You did exactly right — you told me. Let's close it together." Kavi grins. "If it feels wrong, I tell a grown-up!"

Does this feel wrong? Yes — a stranger is asking for my name and photo. I stop, I don't type, and I tell a grown-up I trust.

Questions parents ask

+What should a child do if something online feels wrong or scary?

Stop — don't reply, don't click, don't keep it a secret — and tell a grown-up you trust, like a parent, carer or teacher, as soon as you can. You never have to deal with it alone, and you are never in trouble for telling.

+Who counts as a trusted grown-up?

A grown-up who looks after you and keeps you safe in real life — a parent, a carer, a teacher, or another safe adult in your family. If one is busy or you can't reach them, tell the next trusted grown-up you can find.
