Keep Your Teen Safe From Online Predators With Parental Control Apps!

Like any other cyber crime online predators are a real threat to our tech-savvy teens and pre-teens. For those of you, who are muddy about who an online predator is and what it does; simply put, online predators use personal information to sexually victimize minors. Instant messaging apps and social networking sites are the most commonly used platforms by predators to flirt and engage others in a romantic relationship to illicit sexual purposes. According to the FBI, at any given time there are almost 750,000 online child predators on the lookout for vulnerable targets.

After a while, they will start using means to outsmart you and all your effort will go in vain. So, what can you try which can work for both of you. Well, a tool popular in tech-savvy parents is parental control apps, which they use to keep an eye on their kid’s online and offline activities.

  • Yes, I also use a parental control app – Kidslox (https://kidslox.com/). I think that all parents need similar apps. My kid was very addicted to the screen, luckily we found this app and had no more problems. I do not control him too much. I don’t like spying. So, I just set time schedules for him and block inappropriate content. I’m totally convinced that parental control apps are very needed.
