More Monitoring Statistics

 

Computer Monitoring Now Includes Phones

Most people are familiar with the problems and risks associated with computers and the internet. Parental Control and Monitoring are big topics and many products are available to monitor computers.

However, Smartphones, the mobile phones with computer power, have even more risks because of their convenience, advanced communications, and the user’s sense of autonomy.

Parental Responsibility Means Parental Monitoring

The simple fact is that parents are responsible to both protect their kids, and to know what they are doing, and where they are doing it. Monitoring kids can be done easily and fairly.

Parental Responsibility is not "spying". Trust Yet Verify - is a great concept when it comes to monitoring youth.

Even the best students are getting side tracked by texting - the average American teen sends SMS text messaging over 3,100 times a month! - and that doesn't include reading them either.

 

• 6,000 teenagers are killed and 300,000 injured
  in car accidents every year in the US
• Distracted Driving killed 5,800 people
  and injured 500,000 in 2008

 

"They're kids, of course they're doing something stupid!"

Gloria Alred, famous civil rights lawyer, says parents have a LEGAL obligation to know what their children are doing with their mobile phones.

One neat PhoneBeagle feature is "Seek! Locate Now" - you can have peace of mind and give your kids a bit more freedom if you can keep track of them and know where they are.

Sexting is Out of Control

About 20% of teenagers say they have sent/posted nude or seminude pictures or video of themselves. Don't fool yourself - it is not just harmless fun. Transmitting inappropriate images of underage children is potentially a felony crime. Kids are being arrested, convicted, and having to register as sex offenders. Yes, really.

37% of teens admit that texting while driving is distracting. The scary part of that statistic is that ONLY one in three teens thinks that texting is distracting!

Regulations and Enforcement

These are very serious problems being addressed by new government regulations, and enforcement is increasing. Recognizing how rampant 'sexting' is, some States are trying to protect kids by exempting them from sex offender registration requirements - but they still can go to jail. Experts also acknowledge that laws are not enough to solve the 'distracted driver' problem. Liability for allowing teens to text and drive could become very serious.

Quality Matters

A rule of thumb is that any product or company that includes "spy" or "stealth" in their product or business name will probably disregard the legal implications of mobile monitoring technology and isn’t too concerned with "doing things properly".

A lot of "spy phone software" on the market doesn’t work very well and is sometimes illegal to use. Secret voice call cell phone tapping is a CRIMINAL offense in the US, UK and EU. Many states in the US require expressed consent by both parties to record calls.

Software developers that aren't looking to be "mainstream" do not invest the time and effort to make a good product and develop a long term relationship with their customers. We do.
