Having Your Own Safety Check

The terrorist attacks in Paris that happened this past weekend have shocked and stunned the world—even a world that thinks it’s seen everything. The pure barbarity of the attacks on a sports arena, a music club and a popular restaurant is putting France and everyone else on high alert to terrorism—especially because they hit typical places that Parisian citizens would enjoy on a Friday night. ISIS claimed responsibility to these horrific events, and France, the seat of democracy, was once again put to the test.

We’re not living in a safe world. Although our own personal lives might not ever witness such large-scale brutality, these attacks just underscore our vulnerability as a society against the forces of evil. Many parents thought about their own kids when they learned about the details: what if that was my son or daughter in a music club, or eating dinner, or enjoying a soccer match? How would I find my child? What if cell phone service was down? How can I find my child immediately? A phone trace is a real need.

Modern cell phones can play both hero and villain in these situations. Facebook added safety check to their social media app so people in and around Paris could check in with their loved ones. According to theverge.com in October 2014:

“Facebook is introducing a new Safety Check feature designed to help friends and family members check on loved ones during natural disasters. The tool works by triggering a push notification on devices that are near an affected area. Facebook determines location from cities listed in profiles, last location from the Nearby Friends feature, or the city you’re connecting and using the internet from. If a Facebook user is safe they simply hit the ‘I’m safe’ button and a notification and News Feed story will be generated automatically. Facebook’s early test of the tool was a success and eventually led to today’s feature addition. The social networking giant will work with authorities to flag disasters, and Safety Check will debut worldwide on Android, iOS, feature phones, and the desktop version of Facebook.”

But then Facebook was criticized for not enabling this feature in previous and similar assaults on humanity, like the recent bombings in Beirut.

Wouldn’t it be great to have that kind of technology that you can control? You can! A cell phone spy like Highster Mobile allows you to do your own “safety check.” The cell phone gps tracker app allows you to view a target phone’s activity on multiple devices of your choice: your own cell phone, a tablet, or a desktop computer.

What can you see? You can view photos, videos, social media activity, call logs, text messages, emails and much more. But most importantly, this cell phone spy app comes with a GPS locator so you can easily locate a phone. The location of a loved one’s cell phone can be the lifeline and confirmation you need during a disaster or crisis.

With Highster Mobile android and iphone tracker app, you don’t need a social media giant like Facebook to perform your own important safety check on a family that’s missing.
