Advice about a program to supervise teenager?

I have a teenager witch is 14 years. She recently have been extra active chatting on the computer and mobile phone talking to a boy. She has no pictures. Lately the boy witch comes from another city have been in our neighborhood but can never come to our place. There are several things about the way he is writing that make me wonder. it is to adult way to write. She has given away her address against my advice to. Hopefully my concern is misplaced.





I don't want to alienate my daughter either. So the perfect thing would be a program witch can pick up certain words or similar. and maybe get them sent to me by e-mail. Can anyone recommend a solution witch is acceptable for both parents and daughter?Advice about a program to supervise teenager?
Instead of buying a software program to spy on her, tell


her that you know about this guy and you want the truth


about what is going on now.





Explain to her that you know he is in town, and you want


to know his name, age, and what city he is from.





Tell her that if she takes off with him that you will call the


police.





Make sure that she knows that you are afraid for her safety.





If she refuses to tell you anything..make her give you her password


for the computer. Get all of the information regarding this person


and then close her account.





Make sure you find out his information because if she runs away with


him to another city you are going to need to find her.





I am worried about his age since he traveled from another city.

I don't think you got the idea Lisa G. Even if you are thinking of my daughters best. I don't want or have time to go through all her Internet activities. that's why I want to have maybe certain words or similar. I was more worried about unexperienced girl with experienced child abuser.

Report Abuse



you don't need to buy anything. You just need to tell her that her internet time is now monitored and she may not be on it without an adult sitting right next to her. Make sure you have her passwords and check her email (and trash) regularly.
A couple of good examples of recording software include WebWatcher and eBlaster. These spying software programs cost around $100. WebWatcher records as well as allows parents to block certain websites etc. Other monitoring software includes Spector Pro, IamBigBrother, Golden Eye, SpyAgent, and Invisible Keylogger.





Different monitoring software records different things. For example, monitoring software may record web surfing, chats and instant messaging, keystrokes, and file transfers. A parent should review the software to make sure that it records the things they want monitored.





Each type of monitoring software may monitor certain types of emails only. So if a child has a hotmail account, but the software only monitor's outlook, then the particular program may not work for the family. Also, a parent should make sure that the software they get can log the particular type of instant messaging the child uses.





As for the mobile software that monitors sms messages : http://cellphoneforums.net/mobile-phone-…





and teach her not to give out personal info.
