iPhone, Android And Tablet Monitoring Allows Parents to Stay Aware and Helps Prevent the Harmful Effects of Bullying
COSTA MESA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / October 22, 2014 / TeenSafe, creator of the iPhone, Android and tablet monitoring software, announces today its commitment to supporting PACER's National Bullying Prevention Month through creating awareness around the effects of bullying and by being a tool for parents in keeping their children from becoming victims. TeenSafe gives parents the ability to see their children's incoming, outgoing and deleted text messages, web browsing history, contacts, call logs, location and Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Kik activity to ensure they are not suffering from harassment of cyberbullies.
"October is PACER's National Bullying Prevention Month, and we are grateful for the support of organizations like TeenSafe who share in our passion for raising awareness of bullying," said Julie Hertzog, Director of PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center. "When we stand together, no one has to stand alone."
Currently, over 75 percent of teens in the United States have smartphones and according to BullyingStatistics.org, half of all students admit to have been cyberbullied. Of that half, only 1 in 10 informed an adult about the incident. Bullying can lead to low self-esteem, poor academic performance, lack of motivation, depression and suicide. Parents using TeenSafe have the ability to see this type of harassment first-hand and immediately taking appropriate actions and communicating with their child.
"We know the terrible effects bullying and Cyber-bullying can have on our children and want to empower parents to be aware of what goes on behind the screen of their smartphone by protecting and communicating with them in love,” said Ameeta Jain, TeenSafe co-founder. "It can be a difficult topic for children to discuss with their parents because of the embarrassment and shame that comes along with it. TeenSafe gives them the ability to see what is going on and step in when appropriate, teaching them self-worth and how to cope with peer pressure. "
