WebSafety Inc. Launches Next-Generation Anti-Cyberbullying Mobile Phone Software and Child-Safety "Parental Power Tools"
March 21 2012 - 9:30AM
WebSafety, Inc. (OTCQB:WBSI), the leading provider of
child-protection and parental-notification mobile phone solutions,
announced today a major upgrade of their WebSafetyTM
anti-cyberbullying, child-safety online and mobile phone software
solutions. "Cyberbullying" involves Internet or mobile phone
communications between children, preteens, or teens intended to
threaten, harass, humiliate, embarrass, torment, or target
victims—frequently resulting in physical attacks or suicide
attempts.
Provisioned and activated with a child's mobile phone account,
WebSafetyTM enables parents to protect their children from
threatening, offensive, or inappropriate text-message or email
communications. Parents receive instant email and text-message
alerts from WebSafetyTM if their child receives or sends mobile
phone communications involving bullying, threats, or predatory
comments, "sexting" or sexually inappropriate behavior, and
references to self-harm, suicide, drug use, gun use, and more.
WebSafetyTM filters mobile phone texting or email communications
through the world's largest word-recognition library of words,
slang terms, and catch phrases involving cyberbullying, sexual
behavior, and harmful activities. Suspicious words or phrases
automatically trigger email and text-message alerts to parents that
include the entire email exchange or text-message dialog thread of
the child's mobile phone communications in question.
"Cyberbullying among children using mobile phones and mobile
devices has become so prevalent and traumatic that parents need an
effective way to protect their children by detecting and monitoring
potential cyberbullying behavior," said Rowland W. Day II, CEO of
WebSafety, Inc. "WebSafetyTM provides a powerful arsenal of
anti-cyberbullying parental countermeasures that enables parents to
actively monitor their children's mobile phone communications—and
deal decisively with acts of cyberbullying the instant they are
detected."
The new WebSafetyTM online parental monitoring solution is
offered as a $7.99 monthly subscription, activated and provisioned
from the company's website (www.websafety.com), with the WebSafety
mobile phone application available as a free download. WebSafetyTM
supports Android-based mobile phones and RIM BlackBerry mobile
phones, with future support planned for Apple iPhone and iOS mobile
devices, and Windows Phone-based mobile devices. WebSafetyTM is
also licensed and distributed by WQN Inc. (Pink Sheets:WQNI)
through their brand RatedSafeTM, available through retail and
online markets.
"WebSafetyTM provides a low-cost parental monitoring service
accessible through any web browser, along with free mobile phone
applications that work on any mobile network in the world," said
Brian Fowler, WebSafety Technology Advisory Board member. "Unlike
applications that focus solely on social media networks,
WebSafetyTM enables parents to actively monitor the tremendous
amount of mobile phone-based 'texting' communications that occur
outside of the realm of social media networking."
WebSafetyTM also offers a parental "Where Are You?" feature,
enabling parents to locate the physical whereabouts of their
children's mobile phone or mobile device via the WebSafety.com
online dashboard application. Leveraging GPS technology,
WebSafetyTM is capable of creating "geo-fencing" boundaries for the
child, enabling parents to use online mapping capabilities to
define a geographic area where the child is permitted to freely
roam. If the child's mobile phone is located outside of that
defined "geo-fence" an email and text message notification alert is
immediately sent to the parent, including real-time location
information pinpointing the precise location of the children's
mobile phone or mobile device at that given moment.
