[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 573616, member: 1169"] Besides the dangerous messaging to strangers, you need to worry about her accessing porn as well as sending her own nude/sexual photos and videos out. in my humble opinion, the risk is so very high. We use mymobilewatchdog.com for Piglet's phone but I know the risk is still there that she could be sending inappropriate stuff over snapchat but she is a easy child and the chances are more minor. I can see every website she goes to, every google search she makes, every text that she sends and receives as well as every call. Tigger's phone cannot access the web and we used Verizon's usage controls to block the ability to send/receive photos and videos. He also has a limited window of time to call people each day. The phone will always work to call family or 911, but friends can only be called 3pm-6pm on weekdays and 10am-6pm on weekends. Eeyore is my difficult child. He currently does not have a cell phone. We've have tried and tried to teach him appropriate phone use but he just doesn't get it. Will he ever be able to have a real cell phone and web access? I don't know...some of the things he does could get him criminal charges for stalking because he just does not get that he is being inappropriate. Luckily, I have caught him before the girls parents got involved most times. The one time I didn't, I spoke to the girl and assured her that I would be blocking him from being able to contact her and gave her my number if her mom wanted to talk to me or if Eeyore bothered her at school. Her mom called (thankfully, she had a difficult child too so she got it and actually just wanted to know how to block stuff on the phones lol). I do have to say that I am impressed that your difficult child has earned that much money. That is awesome that she was able to do that! A great sign for the future! [/QUOTE]
