In today’s environment, social media seems to have a strong hold over the actions and mindsets of many adolescents. Often times, teenagers become influenced to behave and speak inappropriately on all different levels, including text messaging.

However, with Retina-X Studios, LLC’s new announcement, parents can monitor and restrict their child’s mobile phone activity to ensure that conversations being sent to and from your child’s phone are appropriate.

Retina-X’s “Mobile Nanny,” the software that allows parents to control their child’s mobile device, the software allows parents to filter out activities within their child’s cell that they don’t want to occur, including the increasingly popular “sexting,” the act of sending and receiving sexually explicit text message through a mobile device.

“For many parents, giving their child a cell phone becomes a dilemma due to the abuse of the privilege,” James Johns, CEO of Retina-X Studios, said. “Mobile Nanny gives the edge back to parents so they can make sure their kids are staying on the right track.”

With the Mobile Nanny, specific phone numbers can be blocked from texting and call communication, as well as restrictions on Web sites and applications. And, as a way to enforce a “cell phone curfew,” parents can restrict use of the device to specific times, and prohibit use at other times, such as school hours or late in the evening. 

And, since the software runs silently in the background as soon as the phone turns on, parents can access the interface by clicking an icon and entering a password. The entire monitoring system can be fully hidden if a parent chooses to monitor their child’s behavior in a covert manner. 

When messages and calls are received, the program silently uploads logs to the parent's private account, which they check online without needing access to the phone.

For parents who request even more detail, complete text messages, call histories and GPS logs are viewable to parents online or inside an interface on the device itself. 

So, for parents worried about their teens activities, this new software system allows fears to be eased, and safety to be reinforced.
