Catching Sexual Predators (Tracey’s Latest Article in Newsweek)

I want to share a link to my latest article in Newsweek because I think the topic is important to moms and parents everywhere: protecting our children from sexual predators.

The crux of my article is a new mobile app called My Mobile Watchdog. This app allows parents to monitor their child’s cell phone activity — mostly important, it alerts parents when a stranger makes contact with child via social network, text, phone, or app. Through my research and reporting, I discovered many instances when parents (and law enforcement) used this technology to thwart a predator.

Check out my piece on Newsweek to read more about mobile apps and the sexual predators they’re helping catch.

Do you monitor your child’s phone? If so, which apps do you use?
