Mum keeps APP to date
Updated | By tanstan fourie
Mums and dads, does it drive you crazy when your kids ignore your phone calls and text messages while they’re out with friends? I would probably lose it if my mini-me snubbed me that way.
If I was a parent, I would need to know that my child was safe and happy; it wouldn't matter where he or she was. If it meant embarrassing my kid just to make sure that he or she was alright, I’d do it.
This is why I’m so excited about a new cell phone app designed by a Texas mum for her kids. They chose not take her calls every time they went out with friends. As angry as she was, she decided to fight fire with fire. She worked with a team of experts to create the Ignore No More app. The tech-savvy mum says since she introduced the new system to her children, she hasn’t had a single problem.
This is how it works. When the app is installed, it allows the mum or dad to shut off their child’s phone whenever they want to. If, for example, the child fails to take his mum’s call, she can remotely lock his cell phone. There are two ways out of the situation. The kid can either dial 911 or call his mum directly, beg for forgiveness and ask for the password that would unlock his phone.
Frankly, I think it’s a great way to ensure your children respond swiftly to your calls, especially if you’re having trouble keeping in touch with junior. On the other hand, some people say it’s a bit of a ‘control freak’ approach to keeping an eye on your child and should be dealt with in a more mature way.
If you’re interested, you can download the app from this site: http://www.androidtapp.com/ignore-no-more/
It’s time to be honest mums and dads. What lengths have you gone to, in order to monitor your child? Have you crossed the line of monitoring to spying and possibly even gone as far as cyber- stalking your kid?
