announced that its leading parental computer monitoring software - WebWatcher -
is able to track all emails sent to and from BlackBerry devices, making it
easier for parents to stay involved in their children's digital lives.
According to the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, 21% of
teens 12-17 years old use email on their phones. Additionally, over a quarter
(26%) of teen cell phone users reported having been harassed by someone else
through their cell phone.
With this new feature, parents can remotely view the exact contents of every
email and SMS text message that is sent or received by their children, as well
as see who the messages were sent to and from. The software is easy to install
and parents are able to see all text messages and emails sent and received on
the phone they are monitoring immediately. WebWatcher also monitors all activity
on desktop and laptop computers including email, instant messaging, social
networking activity and website visits.

parents have a responsibility to ensure that their children are not being
harassed or exposed to inappropriate content on their home computers or cell
phones. WebWatcher gives parents the insight they need to uncover underlying
issues that may be occurring in their children's lives," said Brad Miller, CEO
and Chairman of Awareness Technologies. "We realize the increasing percentage of
young people who use smartphone devices and plan to expand WebWatcher Mobile to
Android and iPhone devices in 2011."
