Child Safety Standards

Effective July 2026

Papaful is a community for fathers. It is an adults-only platform: every account holder must be 18 or older, and children do not use Papaful. Even so, we hold ourselves to strict standards against child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE), because our members are parents and our community exists to make families stronger.

Zero tolerance

Papaful prohibits, without exception:

• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) in any form
• Any content that sexualizes, endangers, or exploits minors
• Grooming, solicitation, or predatory behavior toward minors
• Any use of Papaful to plan, facilitate, or conceal harm to a child

Violations result in immediate removal of content, permanent account termination, and preservation and referral of evidence to the appropriate authorities.

In-app reporting

Every profile, post, comment, and message in Papaful can be reported from inside the app. Reports go directly to our moderation team and are reviewed promptly; child safety reports are prioritized ahead of all other review queues. Members can also block any user instantly.

Enforcement

Papaful staff can remove any content, suspend or permanently ban any account, and act on reports across the entire platform. Identity verification and moderation tools are built into the product, and our moderation team reviews reported content and accounts as a standing responsibility.

Reporting to authorities

When we become aware of apparent CSAM or child sexual exploitation, we report it to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) or the appropriate regional and national authorities, in accordance with applicable law, and we cooperate with law enforcement requests.
