Are you worried about the phone activity of a family member such as your son, daughter, husband or wife? For peace of mind install a simple app on their phone which you can then track from your own device such as PC or phone.
There are many reasons why you would want check-up on a loved one. Children more than ever need to be protected from potential online threats and parents should be made aware of online bullying that has fast become a major problem in America, UK and the rest of Europe.
Cell or smartphones that our kids use have access to hundreds of app including social networking websites like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Then of course there is online chat programs such as Snapchat and WhatsApp that are designed for people to keep in touch instantly.
While used responsibly these sites are completely safe – but what if there is a problem at school or you are worried that your child is being bullied, even worse they could be talking to people they shouldn’t be. As a parent, we often ask ourselves “how do I know my child is safe online?”.
