Kids having access to the world through the web and having the world access them in return can be good and bad. Let’s explore ways to keep them safe.

Solution #1

Use a browser that will allow you to control what your kids can see. For example, Kid Mode extensions for Firefox and Chrome. KidZui is on Firefox. Chrome (Kid Mode)

Solution #2

On mobile phones, use the Parental Controls or Restrictions. You can choose to turn off the phone camera. Turn off location services, and restrict In-app purchases. Also, most phone service providers provide a parental control service (e.g., blocking numbers and limiting the number of text messages). AT&T Smart Limits

Solution #3

You can use your kids mobile phones to track them in real time. Some applications (e.g., Glympse) even provide a history of where they’ve been instead of just their current location. For iPhones, you also have Find My iPhone and Find My Friends. Life360 and Google Latitude (available on both Android and iOS) provides even more details. You should also have the First-Aid app on your mobile device. Glympse (iOS)
