Project PRINCE AI · Wallah's Circle

Fakes. Creeps. Pile-ons. Threats.
You've got backup.

Wallah's Circle is the child-safety side of Project PRINCE. Wallah names the trick, tells you exactly what to do next, and gets you to a real person when it's serious. No shame. No lectures. No profile of you.

Wallah guardian WALLAH · CHILD SAFETY
For the parent reading over a shoulder

Straight answers first.

  • No profile of your kid. Not built, not planned.
  • No data sales. No ads. Nothing protective is ever used to sell anything.
  • Wallah doesn't try to keep them talking. Protection, not a companion.
  • Wallah never contacts anyone. No secret reports to you, a school, or a platform. A person always makes that move.

Every data flow, spelled out, is further down: what leaves the phone. Ages and accounts: plainly, here.

What Wallah actually does

Every trick runs on a script. Wallah shows you the script.

Groomers, sextortion, catfish, AI "friends", bot hype, pile-ons. None of it is random. Once you've seen how it works, it's a lot harder to fool you.

Names the trick, out loud

Plain words for what's happening to you. No jargon, no "you should have known." The tactic gets the blame. You keep your dignity.

Tells you the next move

Not a lecture. What to do right now, who to tell, and a real, free place to get help. Every serious lesson ends there. Never a dead end.

Gets you to a person

Wallah is protection, not a companion. Wallah isn't trying to keep you talking. When it's serious, the whole job is to get you to a real human, fast. Wallah can't make the call for you, and says so.

"Don't tell your parents." "This stays between us." "You're more mature than other kids." "Pay or everyone sees it." "Everyone's laughing at you." "I'm not a bot, I promise." "Do the challenge or you're scared."
WallahHeard one of these? That's not a coincidence. It's a script, and I've got the whole thing.
Why it's called a circle

Full circle. Both kids get help.

The Circle reaches the kid being hurt, the kid who is watching, and the kid who did it and wants to stop. Nobody gets shamed. Nobody gets a label. No app can promise the harm stops; the people around a kid can change it, and the Circle's job is getting them there.

If you're the target

"You deserve backup."

Step away. Mute, block or report when it's safe. Keep what's safe to keep. Pick a safe adult, and if the first one doesn't help, pick another.

If you're watching it happen

"Help without joining the pile-on."

Don't like it, repost it or forward it. If it's safe, ask privately: "Are you okay?" You don't have to confront anyone to be the person who helped.

If you did it and want to stop

"You can choose a different next step."

Pause. Stop sharing it. Respect their space. Ask a counselor or safe adult to help you make it right. If you're hurting too, you deserve support.

WallahThose three headlines are the real ones from the app. I talk to every kid in the situation the same way: direct, calm, zero shame.
When it's happening right now

Six buttons. Pick the one that's true.

These help choices need no name, messages or pictures. Your choice of guidance is not recorded. Contacts you choose to add in My people are saved encrypted on your phone, never uploaded to PRINCE.

WallahI can't call anyone for you from this screen. I get you to the person who can. If someone is in immediate danger, call your local emergency number first.

Works without typing, so it works when your hands are shaking.

Something's wrongWallah gives the steps and says who to tell. Bringing in a safe adult is your move, and Wallah says that out loud.
03
DangerCrisis and emergency numbers are one tap away. A person places the call. Wallah never contacts a parent, a school or a platform unasked.
Nobody should have to do this alone

Your people, one tap away.

Loneliness is what every one of these scripts runs on. So the Circle makes the first sentence easy, and points to real people who get it. It never introduces you to strangers.

My people

Two or three people you'd actually text at 2 AM: a friend, a cousin, a coach, a safe adult. One tap to text or call, with the first sentence already written, because the first sentence is the hard part. Saved on your phone, locked, and never sent anywhere. Wallah never texts or calls anyone for you. You choose the words and you press send.

Someone to talk to who gets it

Real teens who trained for this, with adults supervising the room: Teen Line, YouthLine, and The Trevor Project's TrevorSpace community. Free, and not PRINCE, which Wallah says out loud. Each one was checked against the service's own site before it went on a screen, hours and all.

WallahI'm protection, not a companion. My job isn't to be your friend. It's to get you to your people, and to people who get it.
What's inside

Six rooms. The scripts kids actually run into.

Short lessons in Wallah's voice: the tells, what to do, who to tell, and a real free resource on every serious one. Every lesson is written or reviewed and approved by a person before it ships, and no AI writes or changes a lesson on the fly. A child-safety expert's review is still ahead of release, and we'll say what it found.

Room 01

Is this even real?

Fake people, fake pictures, fake hype. Catfish, AI pics and deepfakes, and the honest way to check (spoiler: sometimes the honest answer is "I can't be certain").

Room 02

Your private stuff

Your body, your photos, your rules. Photos you can't take back, and exactly what to do when someone says "pay me or I'll post it."

Room 03

When people are cruel

Bullying, pile-ons, and getting your feet back. What helps, what makes it worse, and how to be the bystander who actually helped.

Room 04

Groomers & creeps

The tricks adults use, named out loud. How groomers operate, and what "let's meet up" really means.

Room 05

AI "friends" & bots

When the thing talking to you isn't a person. AI "boyfriends" and "girlfriends", bot farms and fake hype.

Room 06

Dares, trends & footprints

Clout, challenges, and the trail you leave. Dangerous dares, and the footprint that follows you longer than the trend does.

WallahSafety guidance works offline. Learning rooms need an online account-access check; lesson choices are not sent with that check. Lesson content stays on the phone. Opening an outside help service is your choice and uses that service's privacy practices.
For the adult helping

Kids most often stay silent for three reasons: shame, "it'll get worse," and losing the phone.

The Circle is built around all three. It also comes with a guide for you, for the moment your kid finally says something. Seven steps, written for the first ten minutes.

Start by listening

"Thank you for telling me." They don't have to explain everything at once. Don't blame them for being targeted, and don't threaten to take the phone for asking for help.

Check immediate safety

Is anyone in danger or threatening to meet them? If so, use your local emergency service. Stay with your kid when it's safe to.

Choose the next step together

Ask before reading their messages. Offer choices: a break, blocking together, another safe adult. If you must act, say what you'll do and why.

Keep evidence without spreading harm

Preserve non-explicit messages, usernames and dates. Never ask a child to send, download or forward sexual images, and never upload them to PRINCE.

If your child hurt someone

Help them stop and respect the other person's boundaries. No labels, no guessed diagnosis, no forced apology. Agree on one concrete safer action.

Bring in the right support

School safeguarding, counselors, reporting duties where they apply. If another adult may be unsafe, seek safeguarding support instead of contacting that person.

Follow up without surveillance

Agree on when to check in. Don't demand every conversation. A finished lesson is not proof the harm has stopped, so ask.

How to get it

See the Family Plan

One kid, no need for a full plan? A single-child parent option is coming. Price not set yet.

What leaves the phone

The honest answer, flow by flow

  • Lessons and help guidance: your choices are not recorded. My people contacts are saved encrypted on your phone, never uploaded to PRINCE.
  • Access check: the app confirms the signed-in account has a Family Plan. That's the only thing it asks.
  • Ask Wallah, when it arrives: the question you type goes to PRINCE and on to the AI provider named in our Privacy Policy for one job: picking which lesson or real resource answers it. PRINCE keeps no copy of the question, and the answer is never free-form AI text.
  • A PRINCE scan of a message: works the way every PRINCE scan works, described in our Privacy Policy.
  • Never built: a profile of your kid, a log of their conversations, points, streaks or leaderboards.

We say exactly what each flow does instead of a slogan, because a slogan is how people get surprised.

Ages and accounts, plainly

Wallah's Circle is written for teens. PRINCE accounts are for people 13 and up, or the age of digital consent where you live, under our Terms of Use; when an account is created we ask for a birth month and year and keep only the answer, never the date. A Family Plan is set up and managed by a parent or guardian. For a younger kid, the Circle is something you open with them from your own account: no account and no data exists for the child. The rooms and the help screen collect nothing from anyone, at any age. Before any school uses it, we complete a legal review of COPPA, FERPA and that state's student-privacy law, and we say what it found.

For schools

A school edition is planned, not started.

The plan is one school at a time, on a separate school license. The Circle would sit beside your counselors and the anti-bullying program you already run, and replace neither. Restorative, not punitive.

  • The rooms and the help screen on students' phones, through the school license
  • The adult-response guide for staff, aligned to your safeguarding procedures
  • Urgent-help access that works with no account at all
  • School access is still being designed. No student data comes to Project PRINCE, and a written data-protection agreement comes before any student opens it
  • A research partner is welcome; we want to measure what it could do, never who your students are
Ask about a school pilot Read our mission

Tell us the school, your role and what's going on. A human answers. There's no form, no funnel, no sales script.

What a pilot is not

Straight answers for the person who has to sign off

  • Not a judge. Wallah never decides whether an allegation is true, diagnoses a student, or issues discipline. Wallah gives safety steps, not findings.
  • Not monitoring. Nothing a student reads or taps is reported to the school or to us.
  • Not a discipline tool. It never names a student, flags a student, or ranks anyone.
  • Not a crisis service. It routes to real ones, and it says so on the screen.
  • Not a replacement for your counselors or your peer program. It's the digital layer beside them.
What a school pilot would include
  • The Circle on students' phones under the school license
  • The adult-response guide and staff training material
  • Implementation guidance aligned to your safeguarding procedures
  • An honest evaluation plan: what we can measure, and what research on other programs does and doesn't say about PRINCE, never built from your students' data
What a school would never get
  • Which students opened what
  • Any student's messages, images or taps
  • A report, flag or ranking of any student
  • Anything, because no student data flows to PRINCE either

Honest limits

What Wallah can't do, in writing.

  • Wallah is not a crisis service and not a therapist.
  • Wallah can't call, text or report anyone for you, but gets you to the people who can.
  • Wallah can't promise an image will be removed, or that a threat is a bluff.
  • Wallah can't catch everything. That's why the urgent-help buttons never depend on detection.
  • Wallah doesn't decide who's guilty, diagnose anyone, or discipline anyone.
  • Wallah never contacts a parent, a school or a platform.
  • Wallah is part of the PRINCE app, not your kid's other apps, and is not watching them.
What's next · no dates promised

Where the Circle is going.

  • "Is this real?" A practice room for spotting fakes, built on the current tactics, never a fake certainty score. Built, and in the release-testing build.
  • The influencer section. Brand-deal, PR-package and verification cons. The big warning sign: a "brand" that wants your money before anything is signed. Verify it on your own before any money moves. Not started.
  • Ask Wallah. A help desk, not a chat buddy: it points to a lesson or a real resource and never chats back. Serious words go straight to real help, not to the AI. Built; it joins the Circle in the next testing build.
  • "What are you into?" Relevance picks that stay on the phone. Never a server profile of a minor. Built, and in the release-testing build.
  • The school edition. One school, one pilot, one research partner. Scale only after it holds. Not started.
Project PRINCE AI

Protection isn't a privilege. Not for kids either.

Wallah's Circle ships when it passes our bar, not on a date. Child safety is the one place we won't rush.
