Community Guidelines

Last updated April 21, 2026

CoCo’s community is a place for parents, guardians, and expecting parents to support each other. These Guidelines explain what is and isn’t allowed. They are part of our Terms of Service — by posting, you agree to follow them.

Golden rule: be kind, be honest, protect kids — yours and everyone else’s.

1. Be kind and constructive

  • Assume good faith. Parenting is hard; everyone is doing their best.
  • Disagree without attacking. No personal insults, slurs, or harassment.
  • No pile-ons. Report content you find problematic instead of dog-piling.

2. Protect children

  • Do not post identifying information about any child, including full name, school name, exact address, or photos of children other than your own.
  • Do not post sexually explicit, sexually suggestive, or sexualized content involving minors. Ever. This is a permanent ban and may be reported to authorities.
  • Do not share content that glorifies or depicts child abuse, neglect, or endangerment.
  • Be thoughtful about sharing photos of your own children — once something is public, it’s hard to fully undo.

3. No harmful, illegal, or dangerous content

Do not post content that:

  • Encourages suicide, self-harm, or eating disorders.
  • Encourages violence, hate, or discrimination against people based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other protected characteristics.
  • Promotes illegal drugs, weapons, or other illegal activity.
  • Contains medical, legal, or financial advice claiming to be from a licensed professional when it is not.
  • Promotes unsafe sleep practices, untested supplements/"cures," non-evidence-based medical claims, or anti-vaccination misinformation that could endanger a child.
  • Infringes copyright, trademark, or other intellectual-property rights.

4. No spam or commercial abuse

  • Do not post unsolicited advertising, MLM pitches, affiliate links, or repetitive promotional content.
  • Do not impersonate brands, professionals, or other community members.
  • Do not use the community to scrape, train AI models on community content, or build a competing service.

5. Privacy — yours and others

  • Don’t share someone else’s private information (address, phone number, medical info, images) without their permission.
  • If you share a story involving your partner, family member, or another parent, please respect their privacy. Use initials or pseudonyms where possible.
  • Remember that posts are visible to all signed-in CoCo users.

6. Moderation and enforcement

We use a combination of automated moderation and human review.

  • Reporting: tap the "Report" menu on any post or reply. We review reports typically within 24 hours.
  • Automatic hold: posts flagged by our moderation classifiers are hidden pending human review.
  • Takedowns: we may remove posts, hide accounts, issue warnings, or permanently ban accounts that violate these Guidelines.
  • Appeals: if your content was removed in error, reply to the notice email within 30 days to request human review.
  • Law enforcement: we may cooperate with lawful requests and will report suspected child-sexual-abuse material and credible imminent threats to life to appropriate authorities.

7. Crisis resources
