GuardChild was founded in 2006 by a team of parents concerned by the recent explosion of news reports about child predators frequenting Social Media sites and preying on children. For more information, please visit our “About Us” page. - Is it really necessary to monitor my child Cell Phone?
Yes, not only is it necessary, it’s your job. Studies have repeatedly shown that children and teens are consciously and unconsciously engaging in dangerous behavior online, and the vast majority does not tell their parents. Polls of parents and children reveal a grave disconnect between parent perceptions of their children’s activities, and what the children are actually doing. Cell Phone monitoring software is the best defensive tools against identity theft, online predators, harassment and cyber bullying, pornography and violent content, and much more. Our products allow you to know what your children are doing online, obtain their passwords, track their location, see their web searches, know who they are talking to, and what is being said in emails, IMs, SnapChat, Facebook, Instagram, Viber, Skype, photos and videos sent and received, Chat rooms, and other social media sites. - Should I tell my family that I’ve installed monitoring software?
Some parents do, some parents don’t, and both choices are completely valid. Informing your children that their activities are being monitored is often a useful form of protection in itself. However, many of our monitoring products are capable of running secretly, in stealth mode, so your child will never know their digital activities are being monitored. - I’m ready to buy, but I keep winding up on someone else’s site.

Once the mobile phone is jailbroken you will have the ability to monitor many of the popular Apps used by tweens and teens. - Is Jailbreaking Safe?
