Spyware Exposes Teen Sexting

We were all teenagers at one time. And as a teen we had two lives, one with our parents and family and the other with our teenage friends. Don’t deny it! And if you have been reading this blog you know how good black teens are at hiding their Internet activity. The latest spyware can help parents uncover some of that secret activity.

Teens today live in a much different world than we did. Today, in the age information and communication, they have more channels of communication and devices available to them than we ever dreamed of.

Teens are about the latest thing. Be it movies. music, clothes, electronic gadgets and even sex. Yes sex!

Sexting is the exchange of sexually explicit messages and images. Many times its selfies of themselves nearly or completely naked and even having sex.

This growing phenomenon is getting dangerous. Teens are naturally spontaneous and lack fore thought so they are not thinking of the consequences of sexting when it goes wrong. In cities all over the country teenagers are being humiliated or even killing themselves after nude images of them show up on social media and in one instance on the school website. A mother in Virginia called the police on her 13 year old daughter after she found numerous pictures of nude teens on her daughters cell phone and tablet.

One of the newest and popular social media apps among teens is called SnapChat. Why? Because pictures and videos self-destruct without a trace. Teens using the app can set the destruct time from a few seconds to days, This encourages teens to snap silly selfies and, for some, sexting.

But if your teen is using SnapChat and you want to know what they are doing there is a way you can. For $40 a month mSpy allows parents to see exactly what their teens are doing on Snapchat.  They can also see  their texts , calls and emails and even their location. Parents must first download the software onto their teens phone. After its installed they can see it all on their own device. mSpy leaves no icon or evidence of its presence so your teen will never know its there. mSpy can also monitor Skype calls and WhatsApp messages, too. The software is growing in popularity especially among parents. According to COO Uri Soroka, of the 2 million people using the spyware a third of them are parents.

Other users of the spyware are business owners that want to see what employees are doing on company owned devices. Another spyware, FlexiSpy,  is targeted toward married couples who suspect their spouse is cheating.

Now you know.
