\u201cHackers are climbing in your windows, so hide your kids,\u201d says Chris Duque, a specialist in cyber safety.  Many SmartPhones come with GPS technology, which is capable of tracking both location and movement, and there are also other applications that enable parents to know exactly what texts a child is receiving or sending and will allow them to check up on photographs as well.  There are even applications for making sure a child does not break certain rules, such as a curfew, when it comes to their cell phone use.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the phone is used after ten o\u2019clock, the service will pick it up and record it for you,\u201d Duque points out.  \u201cOr maybe email you a notice or even call you to say \u201cHey, your daughter\u2019s phone is calling this number\u2019.\u201d Duque says the applications can be extremely useful and give parents peace of mind, but he strongly advises against parents installing such applications on their child\u2019s cell phone without telling them about it first.  \u201cI\u2019ve seen wedges or break ups in families because of the spying, because of the lack of trust,\u201d he admits.  While cell phone apps can be useful, especially for younger children, Duque acknowledges that at the end of the day they are no replacement for good parenting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
