LETTING YOUR TEEN POKE GO

So your teen is addicted to the new summer craze, playing Pokemon Go, and they’re itching to get outside every free moment of the day, but you don’t want them to. Why? Because you’ve heard all about the insane things that have been happening all over the nation in conjunction with the app.

In the few short weeks since the Pokemon Go app was released, there have been countless accidents and crimes because of it. Thieves use the location of Pokemon critters to trap game players and rob them of their phones and cash. People are driving their cars into things because they are so busy looking for Pokemon along the roads they travel. Poke hunters are discovering dead bodies in bushes and floating in rivers as they pursue their Poke prey. And others are just walking into trees, poles, traffic, other people and even off cliffs!

It’s crazy! Who would have ever thought that a game played on a cell phone could cause so much chaos? Well, now that you know, you’re afraid to let your kid out of your sight. But they want to play so bad! So what can you do? Well sure, you can accompany them everywhere they want to go and every time they’re ready, but the truth is that you don’t want to … because you’re an adult. You have grown-up things to do. You have a life. So here’s what you should do. You should install a mobile spy app on their phone so that you can monitor them from afar.

There are a lot of ways on how to detect spyware on iPhone out there and it’s hard to pick which one actually works. Good ones shouldn’t cost a lot. They should be easy to install and not very difficult to use. What makes a top spy app so invaluable is that it can give you complete access to the phone you put it on. Once installed, you can see where that user is going by activating the GPS locator. You can also see the user’s surroundings and listen in by turning on the phone’s camera and microphone—super handy when you want to make sure that your kids is in a safe environment.

I put an app called Highster Mobile on my 14-year-old son’s phone several months ago because I was concerned about what he was seeing and doing on his phone. I didn’t want him watching hardcore porn or looking at stuff that he shouldn’t be looking at. And I wanted to see exactly what he posted on his social media accounts. I also wanted to make sure that no scammers or perverts or bullies were trying to get at him. Most of what I found was okay. I don’t check his phone a lot. I don’t want to be that kind of mother, but I do look in every so often.

Now, I’m using the phone to make sure he doesn’t stumble into a den of thieves or walk into traffic while prowling around for Pokemon. Granted, there’s nothing I’ll be able to do for him at that moment, but at least I’ll know. It’s a fact that I can’t always be there for him physically, but with this best find my phone app, at least I won’t be left in the dark.
