I agree on multiple levels. I also agree that Andy has the right idea. Parents don’t understand or take the time to learn the new technology their kids are getting into. ( I say this with caution as not ALL apply to that last statement.) However, I think back to when I was a teenager and beyond and my parents constantly nagging me about being on AOL 1.0 chat rooms back in the day., There were a mix of people all around and if I had known my parents were even capable of viewing my content, I wouldn’t have gotten into half the trouble I did; and I was an Honors Student. I guess if I were put in the situation, I would simply move the computer to a visible location and keep tabs on internet use until they were adults. That being said, once I have kids and they grow up, they will probably be teaching me to “program the VCR” so to speak.

The app runs silent in the background and forwards sms messages to another phone. How scary is that! VERY!

It is called SMS Secret Replicator from DLP Mobile: http://blog.dlpmobile.com/

NY Times has reported this app has been pulled from the Android Market Place as of this evening.

The legality of installing software that tracks and traces someones activities is always called into question. Especially when the party under surveillance is not aware they are being watched. Installing software on your child’s computer to watch over their web surfing habits. I do not see any problem with this at all. Like my parents always told me. Its my house, its my rules, and it is for your own good.

I know that sounds so typical but seriously, are parents learning enough about what the kids are doing online by talking to them to. It’s like parenting, you can’t just tell them once not to do something and expect them to listen right away. Guide them, spend time in front of the PC with them but most of all, LEARN THE SYSTEM.

If you learn how the system works and what happens on the Internet, you will be able to show them the areas to make it safer. Now, cheating spouses? Thats another issue. Again, if the person online is in a relationship where they don’t trust the partner – why is the person in the relationship. Yes, I know there are signs but it all comes down to communication right?
