Heads-up

Something needs your attention

Usually urgentdanger_signal

Automatic contact-risk detection is not available.

What happened

This event type is reserved for future safeguarding work. Murphee does not currently analyse private conversations or detect grooming, pressure or contact patterns. Website-block notices are separate.

Why it matters

An empty alert list does not establish that a child is safe. Use the guidance here and seek appropriate human help when concerned.

What you can do

  1. 1

    Stay calm and don't lead with blame — a child who feels in trouble stops talking.

  2. 2

    Open a conversation with curiosity: ask who they've been talking to and how it's been feeling.

  3. 3

    If there's any sign of grooming, threats, or requests for images, preserve what you can and report it — in the UK, CEOP (ceop.police.uk); call your local emergency number if a child is in immediate danger.

  4. 4

    Tighten that child's contacts and boundaries in their settings while you sort it out.
