Spy Review

Parents who are concerned about their children would love to be in a position of what their kids get up to by tracking their activities on a mobile/cell phone. However, secretly getting hold of a mobile phone and digesting information can take a little time and is often extremely difficult because the phone is with them almost all the time, but probably ore importantly, prents can feel extremely guilty even they did have a chance because they would feel they are violating their child’s privacy without their knowledge.

Now there is a service called Radar which can be installed on mobiles and track various activities that take place on the target phone is a nice solution that can track but with the child‘s knowledge. It will provides logs of calls made and received, sites they may visit on their phones and even text messages that have been sent and received. The latter is particularly useful as many kids communicate frequently via this method these days.

It also has alerts whereby a parent can receive alerts on their phone or by email if and when their child makes contact that is not been pre-approved. These are part of parent controls that can be set up in association with the child. All the activities the child makes can be accessed through MyMobileWatchdog’s control panel via online.

My only concern is if the child really wanted to avoid being monitored, they can just use different phone with a different service provider and not be tracked since the service My Mobile Watchdog will have been installed on a different phone and with a different service provider.

In today’s scenario parents have to be vigilant. While there are contrary views about the right to privacy of kids and teens, parents have to balance that with the safety of their children. If the children are growing up in a safe and loving environment and their surroundings too are relatively secure, then perhaps there would be no call for this software. And this is only one of the many tools that are available to protect your children and monitor their activities.

MyMobileWatchdogis available in the US at a monthly cost of $9.95.
