Easy clowns who think they are better parents....maybe a parenting board for you Mr Moms might come in handy.

But I'll shed some light for those assclowns who know everything.

Her mother and I are not together, we are both remarried. I call her at least once per day and send her texts when she is not with me. We facetime every night as well. She goes to a very nice private school which is APple certified and they are already issued Ipads for classes and courses. So she is very knowledgable on safety, security, and all things electronic.

She HAD an itouch and set it down at a swim meet, no wifi in the building, no way to locate POOF, it gone. So I lose a $400 itouch because I had no constant signal.

I got her and her brother (10 yrs old) and iphone 4 on special for last Christmas for $1 each and $10 added per month. Why in the hell wouldn't a parent want access 24/7 to their children if possible?

She KNOWS I check her phone, it deters bad behavior BEFORE it's done. I don't need to sneak, she knows I'm watching that device and her at all times. She texts me when she changes her unlock code.

She is honor roll at the hardest Christian school in town, she's a state rated swimmer, and an even better volleyball player. She's in choir and piano at school and likes to run track in the springs.

She has earned my trust over and over and deserves my protection at all times, hence I want a program that best protects her phone and her safety.

These kids' futures are ALL electronic...mine is and will be prepared to face those future hurdles.

This is the tech board and I asked for some tech advice on software. Thanks to those who have suggestions!

To the others, kindly and gently GFY! And keep letting your own insecurities or your own actions on the internet hold back your child's life. No thanks on your child raising tutorial. I'm good.

Any other software suggestions appreciated, feel free to throw in any parent control advice on the iphones....since I have an android, I like to stay current but it's hard keeping up with multi-platform apps.

Well, I agree 100% with you, so hopefully this wasn't a response directly to me. I don't believe in the crunchy granola bullshite parenting that electronics are warping kids' minds. That sentiment is outdated and based in ignorance. It's incredibly stupid to think hindering your child's knowledge and experience with technology is somehow going to make him better. It most often comes from folks who have already been left in the dust by technology.

There's no need to even justify the reason for the phone by listing all of her extra-curricular activities. Fact is, if she's gonna be away from you for any reason for any amount of time, a personal phone that's traceable is a godsend.

Is there any purpose to this besides bragging?
