Protection from Cell Phone Predators
written by: Jordan Austin, Producer
KUSA - Protecting kids from on-line predators has been a priority for a number of years. The emphasis has been on computers. Now with new cell phone wireless technology, the emphasis is shifting.
The eAgency has developed a new program called RADAR that's specifically designed to protect kids from predators who would use cell phones to lure or assault them. The program works by allowing parents to create a "phonebook" that can be transferred onto their child's phone. If someone calls who's number is not listed, the parents get a real-time alert. RADAR also notifies parents if an e-mail, picture or text message is sent by someone who is not on the list.
eAgency C.E.O Bob Lotter says the alert is only the first part of the protection RADAR offers. "The product was also designed to keep a forensic trail of evidence. We alert, but we keep track of every conversation," he said on 9News at 7am. Every piece of information that comes into the phone is kept so that police can use it in any possible criminal investigation.
The phone is also designed to prevent kids from adding contacts to their phone without the parents knowing. "If the child adds a contact, the parent is also alerted that a contact has been added. Later, you can talk to the child and decide if this contact should be authorized," Lotter told 9News.
RADAR is available through www.mymobilewatchdog.com.
