contents In this position paper, we discuss the paradigm shift that moves away from parental mediation approaches toward collaborative approaches to promote adolescents' online safety. We present empirical studies that highlight the limitations of traditional parental control models and advocate for collaborative, community-driven solutions that prioritize teen empowerment. Specifically, we explore how extending oversight beyond the immediate family to include trusted community members can provide crucial support for teens in managing their online lives. We discuss the potential benefits and challenges of this expanded approach, emphasizing the importance of granular privacy controls and reciprocal support within these networks. Finally, we pose open questions for the research community to consider during the workshop, focusing on the design of "teen-centered" online safety solutions that foster autonomy, awareness, and self-regulation.
