From Katie Fullmer, a proactive mom and Magdalene’s volunteer, regarding parental controls for devices.
Qustodio. It is a parental control app where you can see everything and manage everything from Google searches to limiting screen time, text messages and all content viewed by your children. It has geofencing to monitor their locations, key words or phrases that you may be concerned about such as searches or texts about drugs, sex, porn, alcohol, suicide, etc. There is a small monthly fee for all of the bells and whistles. Cell phones, tablets and computers and be monitored.
Bark. This app allows for similar monitoring and parental control, but it appears to be better suited for parents of younger children.
Aura. This is a new app that includes Circle (the home monitoring system that we use to prevent the dark web from even entering our home devices by blocking them at the router). A Circle device we use (made by Disney) is a small cube device that works through the router to block and protect the home location like a VPN device. This enables parents to also shut down the system during evening hours, etc.
