Look at some of the testimonials for WB_SI. If your a parent (which I am not but being younger then most of you guys I can see the importance of this product).
if you go to go to google news and type in cyber bullying.... just look at all the articles talking about this issue.
We started using WebSafety in October of 2010. In December, a sexting alert was sent to my phone, I checked the alert and was beside myself to what I was reading. My 16 year old daughter's boyfriend was pressuring her to have sex. I was truly amazed at my daughter's responses and so proud that she stuck to her values. He used every typical phrase that teenage boys have been using for centuries: "It will bring us closer together", "We can take this big step together", "Our other friends are doing it"! I did not confront my daughter, but this alert did allow me to have a few causal conversations over the next week or two with her about social pressures of teenagers.
She had been a little moody that week and this alert alerted us to why and, without her knowing it, gave us the ability to be in her corner with a little extra support. Would she have wanted to know that I read each and every word? No. What I like about WebSafety is that it allows us to read what we need to read and still gives her privacy. It also allowed us to have a conversation with the boyfriend's father to alert him to what his son was doing, so I feel it helped that family, too.

We have three young girls and would not allow them online or on a cell phone without Web and Cell Safety, period. We are even more thankful, now that we have seen some of the alerts that have come through.
We have had numerous occasions where the alerts have helped our family and other children in our community.
I call it a "window to their world". We have had a suicide alert from a friend who was using my daughter's phone and I was able to alert her mom. Another friend was hiding in her closet at home crying because a boy called her fat. I was able to have her come to my home and console her and she eventually told her mom.
We have had bully alerts that allowed me to know exactly what was being said and who sent it to my girls. We also use the geo zone alerts to tell me when the kids leave our hometown.
I love the texting and driving feature & the speeding feature, too. When the girls are in a moving vehicle, they love that I can just unlock them for riding as a passenger remotely.
On more than one occasion, I have received alerts regarding "meet up" events that my kids were cooking up. As well as, boyfriends who were trying to go on a "real date".
The software is priceless in every sense of the word. We protect our material possessions with alarms, why would we not protect our most valuable love…our children?

"My wife and I are soon expecting our first child, and CellSafety is helping us stay connected without having to talk as well as providing us with peace of mind. How? I use the "virtual fence" feature for all of my off-site meetings so that my wife knows the second I arrive at my location, and again when I am getting close to home. Knowing when I am arriving home a few minutes beforehand makes my wife feel better, and during this stressful time, we really appreciate the peace of CellSafety brings us."

I introduced my girlfriend to WebSafety since she has a teenager. Immediately, there was benefits because her son was going to an inappropriate chat room. That situation lead to a conversion and the issue was resolved. The teenager actually said to me that he likes having WebSafety on his computer because he now understands that his mom is trying to keep him safe. However, the biggest benefit came when another parent accused my girlfriend's 13 year son of cyber bullying her child. My girlfriend was asked to attend a meeting with the Principal, Vice Principal, school counselors, and security. She was informed that Cyber bullying rules have changed in school, which could lead to suspension or expulsion. The Principal informed my girlfriend that her son was being accused cyber bullying and another mom said that my girlfriend had no idea what her son was doing on the computer. Her response was, "I know exactly what goes on with my child's computer because I have WebSafety". She continued, "I am aware of the situation and I told my son of cut off communications with the other child weeks ago. In fact, the other child was the one doing all the cyber bullying and now is trying to get to get my son kicked out school". She told the Principal that she could simply print out all the danger alerts and prove what she was saying was the truth and the other parent needs to back off and start becoming aware of what her child does on the computer.
The Principal was very interested in the WebSafety technology and kept asking more and more about the software. That lead to the Principal offering WebSafety to the entire school as a fundraising program. The Principal felt if parents had this software, it would make a great impact on the Cyber Bullying issues that schools face today.
