5 Apps To Spy On Your Kids Without Them Knowing

HUFF/POST 50
The best way to know where your teenagers are is to have the kind of relationship with them in which they tell you -- truthfully. But for those whose relationships are a bit strained, well, there's an app for that. Here is a list of some apps that will help protect your cover as you track your teens' online comings and goings:
1. mSpy
mSpy is the top used cell phone tracking app worldwide, according toTopTrackingApps. Its main selling point is that you can monitor multiple things with it -- who they call, what they text, which apps they use, the number of contacts, GPS location, etc. And according to SpyParent's founder Sedgrid Lewis, "it works." While the field of spying apps isn't limited, simplicity of use and reliability are factors to be considered. The average American teen spends up to seven hours a day in contact with others on electronic devices, and a recent survey by online security firm AVG found that by the time they are 16, one in three  has regretted something they did online.
2. The Spy Bubble
The Spy Bubble is another jack-of-all-spying-trades, also suitable for monitoring the phone of your suspected cheating spouse. Its site does offer some cautionary, if frightening, state-of-the-world information you might find useful. We are still reeling from this one about online photos and Photoshop: "Never let your kids share their photos online on an open forum. Why? They will ask. Everyone does that. Yes, everyone does that and about eight percent of those experience harassment due to photoshop effects on their photos. The worst bullying of this sort is seen by the girls, especially because female reputation is one of the most fragile things in the world."
 3. The Phone Sheriff
One nice feature of the Phone Sheriff  is that it allows you to set time limits on your teen's device. Want "OK, you can play with your phone for an hour" to really mean just 60 minutes? This app will shut down and lock the phone when you tell it to.
4. Mobicip
Mobicip isn't so much a tracker app as one that restores a bit of control over your teen's online life. The middle school level blocks online shopping, gambling, dating, liquor, and chat sites. The high school level blocks content that is adult, sexual, or involves weapons and violence. Good luck with your kid not using a friend's phone.
5. MamaBear
For parents of new drivers and parents of teens with friends who have had their licenses for 20 minutes, MamaBear will let you know the speed of the vehicle your teen is traveling in. Just don't text them to slow down, OK?

maybe no singular group's right to privacy is violated more often and with less forethought than the young.

think of the millions of images and videos that are on facebook and instagram alone of children ages 1-12 right now, children who did not consent to having their image made public.

then products like this - it's disgusting the way people use their own inability to accept uncertainty in life as an excuse to violate the rights of their children. no, you should not always be with them. yes, that means something terrible could happen in your absence. that's the job you signed up for. if you don't like the terms now that your kid has agency and a little experience, too bad. it's not your kid's problem to deal with - it's yours.

Let's condition people to thinking that spying on your friends and family is OK! Because that's how the police state works.

Apps like this are the reason your kids are sneaking behind your back. Kids don't deserve to be spied on when they're not doing anything wrong. Can you say "trust issues"? What on earth did kids in the 90s do without their mother knowing their every move?! Take a chill pill

I'm so glad I had a great relationship with my mom. If I left, she'd want to know where I was going, who I'd be with, and when I'd be back. And I had a cell phone in 8th grade so she could call if need be. You have to give the kids a little slack to be able to show you that they're worthy of your trust and can be allowed some damn privacy.

Kids in the 80s & 90s didn't have smartphones & social media. I don't advocate spying... I advocate parents saying no to some of the technology.

Parents who use these apps are 80% more likely to die alone and unvisited in a nursing home says anyone with any comon sense. They are only conditioning their kids to accept NSA style spying in the future. Teens should check their phones and give any "parent" that uses them all holy hell.

Well I would assume they let their kids have cell phones because they want to be able to contact their kids vice versa at any given time.

The rights of young people in this nation are consistently and conveniently ignored by parents, teachers, police officers, and judges. They don't pay taxes, they don't vote, and they have no collective power to oppose this kind of invasion of privacy. If you don't trust your child to do what they are supposed to do, then the problem is with your parenting skills. Checking on someone's safety and well-being is one thing; monitoring their every move is wrong.

Going Off the Grid: More Extreme Than You Think

When you think of living off the grid, you might imagine installing solar panels and/or a windmill so that you're not using energy from utilities. That's what I think of, anyway, and I'm very proud of my solar hot water.
But it can be way more than that. A new web series called "Going Off Grid," appearing on Discovery's new Seeker Network and on Youtube, "highlights the beautiful, strange and wonderful people living disconnected from our modern world; the bold few that live off the grid," according to the show description.
Show creator Laura Ling told me: "It's fascinating to look at different parts of society to see the reasons why people are living off the grid, and how."

PHOTOS: Inside an Alaskan Ice Cave

Ling cites statistics from 2006 that say 180,000 people live off the grid, though it's impossible to say at this point, nine years on, what exactly that number is. But let's assume it's higher and growing.
In her search for subjects to feature in her series, Ling came across some notable people.
One family moved from outside Boston, where the husband worked at Harvard, to the backwoods of Idaho. They built a 314-square-foot yurt with wood from the forest. Two of the three kids go to school an hour away, where there are also stores where the family can buy food and materials.
But otherwise, they're totally off the grid: no running water, no indoor plumbing, no electricity, no connectivity.
"I think I was most afraid of the unknown," says Esther Emory in the first series episode, which you can watch at the bottom of this blog.
"It wasn't until I got out here and realized that I could survive and have so much happiness and so much satisfaction that I realized that this was the long-term plan," Emory says.

Ling noted that many people are not living off the grid by choice. She cited a population that lives in the tunnels of Las Vegas, some of whom she interviewed.
"Beneath the glitz and lights of Las Vegas are miles and miles of tunnels where people are living off the grid. Some of them have jobs, but still can't afford to live in apartments," Ling said.
In situations where people are living off the grid by choice, Ling said it was surprising to her that so many were making that choice.
"I see reasons for them doing it and admire them for it, but it is pretty out there," she said. "That whole lifestyle takes a certain personality and it's not mine."

ANALYSIS: Could Our Power Grid Ever Fail?

Another episode of "Going Off Grid" will feature former pro snowboarder Mike Basich, who left a pretty sweet lifestyle behind to build a 228-square-foot home in the Sierra Nevada mountains, named Area-241. It includes a 600-foot chairlift and a wood-fired hot tub, and it's gorgeous, but hey, it's definitely off the grid.
And then there's Laura Singer, who lives nearly off the trash grid. She reduces, reuses and recycles so effectively that her waste for more than a year can fit inside a Mason jar. I do the three RRRs, but there's no WAY my waste is anywhere near that (which might have to do with the chickens, ducks, dogs, birds and humans in my life...).
Ling told me that she hopes "Going Off Grid" inspires people to live more simply.
"I hope that it shines a light on other segments of America that we don't really think about, especially in this day and age where we do have so much. I hope it encourages them to change their way of thinking and have a new appreciation for the things we do have," Ling said.
