Who We Are

Because Parents Should Decide What's Right for Their Kids Online.

Social media companies like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok know their apps can harm kids (and they've done little to fix it).

Why This Exists

There's always another bill promising to protect kids online. Kids Online Safety Act, app store accountability, device-level age checks, whatever it gets called in your state. Different names, different sponsors, the same template underneath. They arrive pre-drafted, from coalitions better funded than the offices they're lobbying. Bloomberg reported in July 2025 that Meta helps fund one of the biggest of them. One state passes a version and the same file turns up in a dozen more a few months later.

Almost none of these bills reach the thing doing the damage, which is how the platforms are built to hold a kid's attention. They add a checkpoint instead: identity checks that land on adults, sensitive data somebody now has to collect and store, and litigation the state pays for win or lose. The feed keeps running exactly as it did.

There's an old saying that we don't co-parent with the government. It didn't come with an exception for bills with a good name on them.

Nobody hands legislators the case against these bills before the vote. Somebody has to stand in the gap.

That's why we're here. Right to Parent gives legislators, their staff, policy shops, and allied orgs the same quality of material the other side shows up with: white papers, one-pagers, testimony templates, bill trackers. Same professionalism, opposite conclusion.

It doesn't take a new bill to protect kids. That's what parents are for.
