It has gotten to the point where we need to monitor our teenagers text messages and Internet usage on their phones. I found info about Teen Safe and was wondering what others thought about it.

Me too! I would also like any recommendations of other monitoring programs.

I haven't heard of that one but I've been looking at another called websafety. I don't know much about it either.

I don't know about teen safe, but when you are looking at monitoring, check to see if you have to have physical access to the phone to check things or if it is a Web based program.

What is that you need to monitor? Data usage? Website visited/apps used? The actual things they're typing in texts?

I want to monitor her text messages and see what she's looking on line at on her phone.

We monitor how much data our kids use, but that's all we monitor. Our 15 yr. old is snapchat queen, so she uses more data than the rest of us combined. But of course we can take the phone anytime and check for things. There is a "friend" of my 15 yr. old that my husband and I are not fond of (to say it nicely). She (the "friend") is known for saying nasty things in texts, so when there was an incident with her last year, we did check phones.
I will check with a friend and see what they use. They have 2 teen boys and monitor their phone and social media (one son was a victim of online bullying from a girl at school - nothing too serious, but the parents want to keep it in check). so it wouldn't surprise me if she has something in place. |

My kids already know we monitor where they are with the Find Friends Ap. I make them check in regularly to make sure they have their phone and didn't leave it to make it look like they are where they are supposed to be.
