In 2016, Pew Research Center revealed that 60% of parents had checked their teen’s social media. 61% of parents agree that bullying and cyberbullying is a primary health concern.

Today, with more children using technology from an early age, more of them are exposed to online threats, including inappropriate content, cyberbullying or even sexual predators. Naturally, parents are more interested in better protection, and the need for advanced parental controls grows.
These concerns have given rise to a myriad of software solutions parents can install on their children’s devices. The problem with this approach is that it is not effective. While these tools provide content filtering, a savvy teen can easily bypass the system with the use of proxy sites. Router-based parental control solutions fall short when kids turn off WiFi. Furthermore, none of the existing solutions addresses parents’ top concern: cyberbullying.
