Protecting the teens from online predators
A while back, sex
predators were roaming in the streets and looking for minors to pounce.
Nowadays, things have changed. The predators are seated safely behind
technology and are looking for victims through their smartphones. That 40 or so
old gentleman in the neighborhood becomes the 17 year old teen on social media
trying to sweet talk the teenage girl into friendship.
The privacy of all
the communication that goes in between the teens and the outside world makes
matters even worse as sex pests make their way into the their bedroom through
the Smartphones or laptops and the parent will not know despite having seated a
few feet away.
Kids need to be told
the truth that there are so many bad people out there and should trend the
online social world with care. It is unfortunate that most teens share lots of
their personal information on the internet. They become an easy play as they go
on revealing much more about themselves. The information could be where the
teen hangout, where he or she lives, what they will be doing tonight and so
forth. It is unfortunate that many do not realize how much they are telling the
world about themselves.
Fortunately, there is
a sophisticated phone-monitoring tool online called TeenSafe. It gives the
parents access to literally everything including incoming text, outgoing text,
deleted messages, conversations in apps, GPS location, and sites that the teen
has visited on his or her phone among others.
The app has helped
mothers and fathers out there help children from being victims of sex pests,
joining friends that did drugs or other bad habit. TeenSafe keeps the parent a
head of the game in protecting their kids. There are hosts of other apps that
enhance the monitoring ability of the parent and operate on all major phone
platforms.
