Omaha, NE - Parents beware, x-rated picture texts or "sexting" and pedophiles targeting teens on their phones are on the rise. Tonight, we take action against these digital crimes to protect your kids.
It's a high tech tracker, new cell phone software has parents dialed in. "Now with these phones and as powerful as they are, now it can be a lot more dangerous and it just really makes kids more vulnerable." Private investigator Brett Pippen sees these digital dangers first hand. Pedophiles stalking children and worse. Now, parents can take action. We had the P.I. install this new spyware. He chose the SMobile Systems brand because he knows it. Look how easy it is, he types in the number of the cell phone he's targeting and in minutes has complete access to it.
"The latest and greatest feature allows you to punch in the names and numbers of who you want calling your kid if someone else texts or call them your your email is flagged. It also has a word alert feature, if your child sends or receives something innapropriate you'll know. And kid savvy sayings are all spelled out for you. It also cuts down on the new naked picture craze, "Sexting".
If you're worried about breaking their trust, Pippen insists parents need to step in and now. "They've been enabling them to do whatever and then they finally put their foot down after it's too late ."
