The Dangers of Teens and Cell Phones

How can a cell phone monitoring software and text message spy help protect children?

Between 600,000 and 800,000 people are sold into sex slavery each year, to be used as prostitutes, in sex rings and for other unspeakable sexual purposes. Half of them are children. This is not a problem that only happens in third world countries. Last year, there were almost 4,000 cases of children in the United States being sold as sex slaves. In a world of computers, Wi-Fi and cellphones, adults are soliciting kids online and luring them in with the promise of freedom, money, gifts and love. Most of this coercion is done behind the screen of a cell phone or computer.

As parents, it is imperative to know who your child is communication with, what they are communicating about, and what millions of strangers online know about them. Using software to spy on text messages is a helpful tool for parents to keep their children safe. When programs like SurePoint are downloaded on a child’s target phone, parents can constantly see what their child is doing online.

Adults looking to exploit children will use Facebook as a way to learn private information about a child, such as who they hang out with, where they go to school, where they go after school and on weekends, and even times during the day when they are home alone. Having the ability to spy on their text messages gives you the comfort and security of knowing that they’re being smart about what they say and who they say it to.

And there are smaller problems than sex trafficking that come along with teens and unmonitored use of a cell phone. Bullying, sending and receiving inappropriate pictures and getting caught up with the wrong group of friends can be devastating to a child’s life, and it can all happen so easily on a cell phone. Parents can monitor who their kids are talking to and what they are talking about. Even deleted texts can be recovered, so conversations that teens try to hide easily can come to light.

And it is not just the ability to spy text messages that parents love about SurePoint, it is all of the other useful tools that keep them connected with what their child is doing on their cell phones. SurePoint lets parents check emails, chat history, browser history (even if it has been deleted) contact lists, call logs and social media activity. Anything a teen does on the target phone can be tracked and monitored. And because SurePoint is completely undetectable on the target phone, kids and teens will have no idea they are being watched.

All parents want to keep their kids safe, and in a world of computers and cell phones, it is becoming harder and harder for parents to stay completely “in the know” about what their kids are doing behind their cell phone screens. Utilizing this type of software is an incredible tool for parents to keep their kids out of trouble, out of the “bad group of kids” and most importantly, out of danger.
