There's a decent market for parent spyware of various sorts for home networks, that let parents secretly log kids' browsing history, incoming emails, etc -- so you know who you kid is talking to online, and about what. Most parents don't ready every word, but many do searches for red flags like "sex", "weed", and "gun" and their various slang equivalents.

Nefarious, maybe, but in an age when all kinds of sinister stuff gets planned on blogs and text message, it would be nice to have something similar for texting on kids' phones.]]>Aug 20th 2008 11:34PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/verizon-launches-usage-controls-kiddies-groan-in-dread/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/verizon-launches-usage-controls-kiddies-groan-in-dread/Aug 21st 2008 12:17PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/verizon-launches-usage-controls-kiddies-groan-in-dread/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/verizon-launches-usage-controls-kiddies-groan-in-dread/Aug 21st 2008 8:03PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/verizon-launches-usage-controls-kiddies-groan-in-dread/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/verizon-launches-usage-controls-kiddies-groan-in-dread/Aug 29th 2008 11:52PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/verizon-launches-usage-controls-kiddies-groan-in-dread/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/20/verizon-launches-usage-controls-kiddies-groan-in-dread/Oct 28th 2008 11:18AM
