Educational purpose

The scenarios and characters are fictional.

This application is educational and does not provide psychological diagnosis.

It does not replace professional training or safeguarding procedures.

AI outputs must be checked by a responsible adult.

Real personal data about minors should never be entered into AI tools.

Cultural differences must be handled carefully, without stereotypes.
