Introducing….

To Empower Parents To Protect Their Children From The Dangerous Cellular And Online Worlds Through Our Advanced Parental Intelligence System.

Our Mission

At the top of the Activity tab, you will see several quick facts such as the number of active contacts your child has online and how often your child

posts and texts.

You will get a glance at what activities are taking place, right now, in a view that in fairly similar to a

phone bill.

If your child has a Blackberry or an Android mobile phone or they have checked in on Facebook, you will have a glance at his or her last known

location.The Activity tab also shows you the most recent pictures your child has posted online and the most recent photos your child’s friends have posted of

your child.

Easily digest when your child and his or her contacts are communicating with each other by

hour.

You can view your child’s top contacts by rank and see whether he or she is trending up or down as well as what percentage of all digital communications he or she accounts for with

your child.

You can see exactly how many times your child and his or her top contacts are interacting with each

other.

And on the Activity tab, you will be answer other fundamental questions like, “Who is ‘Friending’ my child on the social networking sites, where are they from and are they of an

appropriate age?”

Once you have created your account and signed in, you will see a high level overview of what’s happening online and on the mobile phone.

Since so much data is coming into the system, you may

want to whittle it down using filters. You can filter by

child…… by time…

… or by the type of activity such as text messages or Facebook direct

messages or a combination of activity types.

You may want to filter the data to reflect only certain types of contacts. From a contact record, you can create customized contact groups by “tagging” contacts as “family” or “football

team” or any other type of grouping you can think of.The pictures that appear in the dashboard can be filtered so that only new pictures are displayed or only

those pictures that were posted of your child by another person.

You can also filter the data to show only those messages that are associated with some sort of potentially risk behavior or person. We call these, “Notifications”.

Notifications are messages that may involve references to bullying, sexting, suspicious people or activities or any number of other potential issues you would want to be

made aware of.

Once you have adjusted your filters, don’t forget to click the “Update” button to refresh

the data.

On the Live Feed tab, you can view specific messages including the date and time, the type, the

contact involved in the communication and easily see if there is a Notification associated with the

message.

By clicking on the small “Full Exchange” tab associated with a message, you can see any back and forth communication taking place

between your child and the contact and get more details about a specific Notification.

Let’s check out the Images tab.

In this example, you can see that the reason the system created a Notification is that someone over 18 years old is communicating with the demo child.

On the Images tab you can click the small “View Details” tab associated with any picture to view a larger version of a picture and to get more

information such as who is tagged in the photo and who posted it online.

If your child uses Facebook to check-in his or her location or uses a Blackberry or Android

mobile phone with GPS capabilities, his or her last

known location will appear on the Family Map.

If your child uses any other mobile phone, he or she can be located using an optional, network-based check-in feature that will be available in early

2012.

Clicking the PanoRama Map view provides you with an detailed view of your child’s last known location.

Using the controls, you can even spin

the PanoRama View so that you can see a 360 degree view of your child’s last known location.

We obviously haven’t reviewed every feature of the service but if you need help or have a questions, you can get the information you need from the

Community tab.
