I'm looking for something like Snikket or Prosody, but kids-oriented. I DON'T want my <10 daughter using Meta Messenger Kids! I'll tell my friends to setup for their kids, too. I'd have no access to anything, so it's secure (mom and dad not snooping per se), but the downside is minimal parental controls. Though, no one to really add either.

I'll host or pay for it, IDC. It doesn't seem like there is much out there either.

JusTalk seemed nice when I found out but apparently China owned and so no more secure. I/we need better options!

Yeah, this is a tough one if I ever have a kid. The reason I still use shitty WhatsApp is because every single relative and friend outside of the US uses it. The ultimate privacy isn't worth being alone and losing those connections to me.

Also kids are mean, I could totally see them treating the kid with the weird app poorly just for doing so.
