Kidnapping, sexual predators, bullying, suicide. As parents, we must face the reality that our children are growing up in a society much different than when we were kids. The current era of technological renaissance has brought about threats to our children we never could have imagined a few years ago, but it has also led to the emergence of tools – like the parental control app – to keep them safe.

Children and teens are unlikely to tell you if they are being bullied. It is important to look for signs they are victims, such as changes in how they use technology, being secretive or withdrawing from social activities.
A parental control app like FlexiSPY makes it possible to monitor SMS and MMS conversations, as well as popular chat applications like iMessage, Facebook Messenger, Instagram direct messages, WeChat, LINE, Skype, BBM and more. Access all media files, see stickers and read incoming, outgoing and deleted messages, so you can step in before it’s too late.

Have you ever felt like something is wrong, but no matter how hard you try to reach out your children always respond with, ‘I’m fine.’ Too often we accept this answer and don’t delve deeper for fear of pushing them away. Let your parental control app find out the information your children are too afraid to share.
Use the hidden software feature to monitor your child’s phone – not because you want to spy, but because you are deeply concerned for their emotional and physical safety. By hiding a parental control app, you can see the whole picture – check what apps they are using, read what they are typing with a keylogger, and see who they are talking to – so you can prevent the unimaginable from happening.
