Your family's safety comes first.
On True Circle, kids only interact with peers close to their own age. Minors are not visible to random adults and cannot be contacted by them. The only adults who can connect with a child are verified parents, guardians, or approved caregivers — and every minor must verify their identity, including school IDs checked with their school or district.
Strict age bands
Members can only search, follow, message, and join circles with people in their own age band — or within one year older or younger. Minors cannot interact with unrelated adults. Adults cannot search for, follow, or DM minors they aren't verified family for.
ID-verified minors
Every minor verifies with a government ID or a school ID — and school IDs are checked with the school or district. Until verification is complete, the account is in view-only mode and cannot interact with older users.
Verified family links
Parents can add their child directly from their own account. Or, if a child joins and finds their parent on True Circle, they can send a relationship request that the parent must confirm. Only verified family links unlock adult ↔ minor interaction.
Verified Professional badge
Teachers, doctors, nurses, therapists and coaches can apply for a Verified Professional badge by uploading their active license. Even with the badge, contact with minors stays limited and supervised by our child-safety rules.
Active monitoring
Our team reviews family links, age bands, and interactions to protect minors. Suspicious behavior, fake ages, and bypass attempts are flagged for review.
Zero tolerance for misuse
Any account that lies about age, fakes a license, or tries to contact minors without a verified relationship is frozen or permanently removed. No appeals on child-safety bans.
For parents, in plain English

A note on professionals
A Verified Professional badge is a credential check — not a permission slip. A verified teacher cannot DM a student outside their verified family or institutional context. A verified doctor cannot contact a minor patient unless the family link is in place. The child-safety rules apply to everyone.
