Dad makes app that locks your teen's phone until they answer your text messages

quote:

The app ReplyASAP makes text messages “unmissable between people that matter, since important messages shouldn’t be missed,” says its creator.

Nick Herbert created the app, which can freeze your child’s phone and even sound an alarm in silent mode. It essentially forces teenagers to stop what they are doing and reply to their worried parents, reports PureWow.

its more important to lock your teen's vagina until they answer your messages.

Hope your kid isn't trying to use Waze to find her way home from a dangerous part of town.

Now, she'll have to read his texts while driving before Waze will work again.

I'm not putting any teenage vagina on lock because I enjoy my freedom and not being a creep too much.

They (teens) won’t stop in the middle of having sex to answer a text from parents.

However did people make it before smart phones!!!!

There is data that suggests kids having access to smart phones and social media is causing rapid climbs in teen auicide rates. More so in girls.

So if a parent text their child and they don't respond right away and then are in an accident and need their phone to call someone it will not work?

I don't know. Not sure how I feel about this.

Seems like it would be detrimental or they would find an easy work around in most cases.

And most of the things that I would probably not want them to be doing don't really require the usage of a phone...

If the kid would stay away from dangerous parts of town, that wouldn't be a problem.
