Ineffective Supervisors are More Harmful

Ineffective Supervisors are Probably More Harmful than Ineffective Employees

/

  I recently came across a pretty interesting infographic that talked about ineffective supervisors and it kind of changed my vision a bit. This past month, my focus has been cluttered around how important it is for managers to handle challenging employees. So much so that I stopped considering the fact that managers can be problematic as well. In fact, problems usually occur from the top-down. Ineffective employers create the problems that make employees ineffective for their jobs. It’s not a revolutionary idea, that’s for sure. Still, you know how sometimes you go through phases where you get complacent with a certain kind of thought process? I feel like that has been happening to me this past month. I’ve focused all my efforts on the employee bit of the monitoring, when I should be focusing on how ineffective managers can be the kiss of death for any organization in the world. Here is the infographic that flipped the switch: Essentially, what the infographic has done is describe the bad habits that make a manager fail. And failure is what we try to escape when compose and conduct our management strategies. What bad managers do is… Close their Eyes to Challenges Bad managers will always deliberately stay away from problems and challenges. It’s not that they don’t see them. It is that they see them and choose to stay away. Perhaps the reason for their elusive behaviour is a lack of skills. Perhaps it is the fear of failure. Or perhaps they feel like if they ignore the problem at hand, it will eventually go away. But we all know that that never happens now, does it? We are all familiar with Murphy’s Law: everything that can go wrong will go wrong. So it doesn’t matter if you’re ignoring the elephant in the room. The fact is that it is there and thus has to be addressed. Your employees can only do so much to solve problems. It is you who has the greater power to become a problem solver who then cascades the solution to your staff. Closing your eyes to challenges will never help. Hire Less Talented Resources to Seem More Talented Tale as old as time. An employer will deliberately hire less competent people to seem most competent one in the team. However, this will perhaps be the most destructive practice for the overall revenue generation of the company. Because in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king, and what this employer is essentially doing is gathering a band of blind men for a seeing job. What good does it do anyway? Aside from feeding the manager’s ego, it really has no constructive use. In the millennial style of work, you should be surrounding yourself with people who speak their minds, are hired because of their skills, can pinpoint harmful organisational practices before they get out of hand and are a source of value addition for the company. Does not matter if they are more talented than you are. If you are secure enough in your skills, this stuff should not matter. Now, let’s move onto stuff that ineffective supervisors just can’t do. Can’t Read their Own Employees Bad supervisors won’t be able to read their employees. What does this mean? It means they don’t understand when: An employee is unhappy in their job An employee is ill-fitted for a certain role An employee is overqualified for a certain position An employee is indulging in malpractices An employee is being toxic to the overall environment of the organization An employee needs to be let go from their job And all of this results in ultimate chaos for the rest of the team because let’s face it; they are the ones who have to clean up after every mess created by the management’s bad decisions. So when you’re using your employee monitoring apps to evaluate your employees, take a step back and think about where you stand. Because you could very well be the root of all your company’s problems. I know that’s a hard pill to swallow, but when you’re expecting your own employees to be on top of their game, it is only fair that you do the same.

A Master Class in Organization with XNSPY Parental Monitoring for iPhone

/

If you’re a working mom like me, time is perhaps more valuable to you than any other asset of your day. Apart from keeping your job and being good at it, you’ve got to run errands, make sure the kids get up and get to school on time, and eat healthy when they get back home. But then, you’ve also got to do some real parenting, and that includes making sure they are doing well at school, that their mental wellness, along with their physical wellness is on point. That they aren’t getting themselves into trouble and that they are following a schedule that is overall good for them. But all of this can be rather scattered and chaotic when your own schedule is all over the place. So let’s but some organization in that chaos. I found that incessant schedule making and sticky note putting routines can be helpful, but redundant. So I’ve started using the iPhone monitoring software instead. It is a more tech forward approach to parenting, and one that I particularly enjoy employing. Today, I’m going to share with you exactly how it works and how you, too, can organize your kid’s day using it. XNSPY as a Curfew Setter What I really like about my iPhone monitoring app is that it comes with a “lock phone” feature. This means that I can remotely lock my child’s device without even touching their phones. This may sound like a pretty basic, useless feature at first. But if you think about it, it works really well as a curfew monitor. Basically, my kids spend a lot of time on their iPhone playing video games, talking to their friends and other such foolery. So when it is their designated time to study, I lock their phones straight away and they know that their messing around time is over. Similarly, I make sure they are going to bed at a reasonable time so that they get the right amount of sleep young boys of their age need. XNSPY as a GPS Monitor XNSPY also comes with GPS tracking. What I love about this app is that I never had to jailbreak my kid’s iPhones for it to work. I simply installed it on their phones as per usual, then signed in with the iCloud accounts I helped them set up when I first got them their phones. Anyway, the GPS tracker works wonders, before I always know where they are. I know what amount of time they are spending outside of school doing productive stuff, and how much time they are spending doing leisure stuff. A healthy dose of both sides is good. At the same time, the GPS tracker keeps me informed of their safety at times when I am at the office. See Also:  Spy app for iPhone no Jailbreak XNSPY as a Mommy Alarm The app also comes with a useful feature called the Watchlist, which basically works as a trigger alarm. You basically set alarms that would trigger you as a parent. So for example, these could be specific places you don’t like—like their friend Jimmy’s house, or the ice cream shop that you heard once had a robbery. So you put virtual fences around these locations and you get an alarm if your child ever does go to these places. Similarly, you can also add in triggers for certain words that you feel are iffy, like swear words or words “beer” or “drunk” or anything else that you feel like would be part of a conversation your child should not be having. Just in Time Parenting! What iPhone monitoring software has helped me do most of all is be lean in my organization. Previously, I had to pull out my schedules and see what time the kids were getting off from soccer practice, what time I had to drop them off for tutoring, what time they were supposed to be revising. Now, I can simply streamline everything with the help of this really useful app in parenting, and I don’t even have to jailbreak their phones. So if you’re looking to take your parenting up a notch by becoming a more organized parent, try XNSPY and you’ll be well on your way.

5 Simple Rules for Owning a Brand New iPhone with the iOS 10

/

Haven’t you heard? XNSPY is now compatible with the iOS 10! And this mom has some really good piece of advice for parents out there whose children will be begging for the new iPhone 7. If you follow these 5 rules, you’ll have yourself a much easier time… When my daughter begged and pleaded that all her friends have an iPhone and she wants one ever so badly, I had to give in. But don’t worry. I’m not the kind of mother than gives in to their kid’s tantrums. I like having discipline and a system in my household, and so far it has done a lot of good for me. So when I did buy her an iPhone it was not without rules. I had those rules be exceptionally clear between us and I told her that if they were breached, she would lose her privileges and be phone-less once more. Moreover, I also had her know that she can’t be sneaky about them either. If she did break a rule, I would know about it because I had my iPhone spying app acting as my hall monitor, keeping me informed. And this shouldn’t be a problem for anyone, because apparently, XNSPY is now compatible with the iOS 10 as well. These are some of the rules I enforced that should help you out as well. 1. No Inappropriate Apps Right off the bat, I told her that the iPhone is not to be used to any inappropriate apps. This is a reasonable request, isn’t it? There is a lot of adult content out there not suitable for children and now it is available in app form. This means that they can access it anytime they like because it is only a tap of your finger away. How do I use the iPhone monitoring app to enforce this rule? It’s quite simple. When I have my daughter’s phone connected with the monitoring service, I can view a list of her installed apps. This way, I always know what is on her phone. When I see something I don’t like, I point it out and make sure I have a discussion with her about why she downloaded the app and what she wanted to gain from it. It is also a chance for me to talk to her and tell her the whys. Parents tend to tell children to stay away from certain things without explaining why it is harmful. I always tell her why a certain app is harmful to her. 2. Follow Cyber Curfew Another thing my daughter knows to do is to hand in her phone every night at 9 p.m. She is absolutely not allowed to use any technology after that time. Call me old fashioned, but I am big believer in reading books before getting a good night’s sleep. I want my daughter to be well acquainted in all aspects of life. While I appreciate the plethora of information that the internet has to offer, I also want her not to be overly dependent on it. I want her to try out her talent in other avenues—like literature, ballet, music and the like. Being too absorbed in her online world gives her the information, but what’s the point of it if she keeps it all in her head. She needs some “me time” to be able to put everything she learns on the internet to good use. How to I make sure she isn’t using the internet past her curfew? If I detect any activity, all I have to do is remotely lock her phone using the iPhone monitoring system and she is unable to use it until such time that I unlock it for her. 3. No Hurtful Language Something that I feel very strongly for is cyberbulling. I feel like it is an issue that needs to be better addressed, not just by the government, but by the admins and developers that run these social media platforms. I always make sure to let my daughter know how horribly I think of such online behavior. I tell her that her words always have consequences, even if she is hidden behind her computer screen. I don’t want her to be the one who leaves mean comments on other children’s pictures or in the YouTube comments section or anything of the like. I want her to be a good digital citizen. This is why as long as she wants her iPhone, she isn’t allowed to use hurtful language on it. On my iPhone app, I have something called the Watchlist. This helps me set triggers for certain words. I have set alarms for swear words, or suspicious language that I have heard my daughter use to make sure she isn’t being irresponsible. At the same time, I can also make sure that she is not the one being the victim of cyberbullying either. 4. No Inappropriate Music I encourage music strongly in my household. I feel like children learn much better in other aspects of school if they learn how to play an instrument. If not, being at one with music in itself is a good attribute to have. However, I don’t agree with a lot of the popular music that is on the radio. I think the content and lyrics of a lot of popular songs are misogynistic, violent and immoral. I don’t want my daughter listening to music that objectifies women, promotes violence or has nothing of good value to add in her life. I realize that some popular music is also about self-love, being positive, or striving for the best. So I have to a bit of filtering myself to make sure they is only exposed to the appropriate stuff.

This way, I can check what she is listening to and I can certainly talk

U.S Elections: Cyberbullying Reaches the White House

/

As the results are announced for U.S Presidential elections 2016, Donald Trump has managed to achieve the most unexpected victory in the history of the United States. The political uncertainty of the Great America has been revealed from the unexpected results of these elections. This extraordinary development has received mixed reviews from all over the world. The world is still in shock as Mr. Trump is heading towards the White House, but what’s done is done. Mrs. Clinton has conceded the elections and so have the Americans. It is time to know what the future holds for us. Throughout his campaign, Trump candidacy has faced serious criticism on his extreme policies and sexist behavior. However, despite these controversies, Trump campaign highlighted some areas they would prioritize during their reign. Now is the time to deliver their promise. During her husband’s campaign, Mrs. Melania Trump pledged to tackle the issue of cyberbullying should she become the First Lady of U.S. Many people showed disbelief on her statement, keeping in mind her husband’s sexist behavior on social media. Trump is notorious for his rants and insults on social media and using abusive language online. Such words coming out of his wife’s mouth are quite at odds with his behavior. However, the First Lady has her own concerns. Being a mother to a 10-year old boy Barron, she fears the perils of cyberbullying, especially on social media. In her speech she said, “Our culture has gotten too mean and too rough, especially to children and teenagers”. Her statement shows concern over the current American culture. Cyberbullying can be quite intimidating as it has some intense consequences. The problem is more acute in children, specifically teenagers, as there are so many platforms available to bullies. Advocating the cause to fight cyberbullying, she further stated that, “It is never okay when a 12-year-old girl or boy is mocked, bullied or attacked. It is terrible when that happens on the playground and it is unacceptable when it’s done by someone with no name hiding on the internet. She added, “We have to find a better way to talk to each other, to disagree with each other, to respect each other.” We may despise their policies but we need to appreciate her stance on cyberbullying. The issue may not be new to us but as parents or well-informed citizens, we need to eradicate this problem from our society. What is difficult is that parents don’t mostly know what is happening in their children’s’ life. To keep their children safe from ‘digital harassment’ many parents prefer to use spying apps. Parents must install android monitoring like XNSPY to track their child’s activities discreetly. Not only they can review online communications of their children but also learn about their whereabouts. iPhone spy apps are also available for parents to view their children’s offline and online activities. It is believed that Lady Trump understands the social perils of cyberbullying. She has promised to add positive influence into the social media and its freedom. We have heard her claiming how her husband would bring real change within America by ensuring respect for women and focusing on child security and safety. Let’s see how successful they are in moving some new bills regarding cyberbullying.

Calling All Human Resource Managers—Are You Monitoring the Right Way?

/

The instance of worker observing has of late been getting a considerable amount of debate, particularly in light of an incident last year that was reported by the news where a lady did not want to be monitored by her CEO and was in this manner terminated for it. The issue of working environment protection itself is not new, but rather as more developments in worker surveillance techniques happen, businesses are at the end of the day rethinking what it in question. One the one hand, you’ve got to give the workers the perfect amount of autonomy to be productive. On the other, you’ve got to have foresight on the questionable consequences that may occur as a result of unwanted negligence. Be that as it may, there is no denying it; worker checking is going remote, portable and employee surveillance software is making it all the more possible. From one perspective, there is the issue of adhering to a meaningful boundary between what to screen and what not to screen. Recording everything a good worker does at the office can be detrimental and the business may not comprehend what to do with that much crude information. Then again, leaving a a worker all on their own to make their best judgments can have genuine outcomes. At the extremely essential end, checking guarantees that all workers are conforming to regulations and the set of principles is being taking after. For another, it guarantees that the business has evidence in the event that a worker ought to neglect to submit to company policy. In any case, there are direct circumstances that make wireless monitoring appear somewhat more suitable. Small businesses, more often than large ones, have more to lose from employee misconduct. The figure is at a shocking $5 million. What’s more, that is not all. Risk from within can be more deadly for your business than danger all things considered. Disloyal workers can be roused by numerous things—better open doors at the rival business, thicker pay, higher up positions at other companies. In the event that your association with them ought to turn sour, you may see your sensitive data and information resources be stolen—or most dire outcome imaginable, you’ll see all our competitive innovations surrendered through secret activities. In the midst of all the security dangers, organizations wonder when worker observing quits being observation and begins turning into an intrusion of their privacy. In practical terms, managers can track what sites their employees are visiting at the workplace, who they are emailing and what content it contains, and most importantly, what they do on the organization given tablets or cell phones. Also, now that checking has gone portable, XNSPY has focused on these components—that a business can screen by right—and conveyed it to Android. An all inclusive mobile application is a less complex, less nosy approach to guarantee security, and takes into big-data information mining so bosses comprehend what issue ranges to search for, where the problematic areas lie and what needs to be given more attention. Employee monitoring unquestionably has its advantages. There have been instances that it has been used to uncover employees making making under the table deals with the customers as opposed to conveying business to the organization.  This given managers the power to choose to tackle checking all the more successfully. The problem that may arise with an application like this is that managers may get more information that may seem permissible. A worker may use the company phone to exchange religious, political or other such views with a cowoker. This may create biases in the minds of the manager, especially when they are agreed upon. That is the place XNSPY’s Watchlist becomes information digging as it highlights the moment that a manager should intervene. That is one way in which the mobile spy app will prove to be useful. It permits businesses and supervisors to stamp in advance what sorts of things they wish to watch out for. This incorporates keywords in messages, IMs like WhatsApp and other websites. At the point when the worker accomplishes something suspicious, a warning is raised and the business is the first to know. Employee monitoring software is key to corporate versatility; that much is without a doubt. Be that as it may, the reason for such surveillance should be confined to action inside of the workplace and on organization given gadgets.

Integrating Employee Monitoring Tools for Long Term Success

/

If we think about it, employee monitoring became a systematic practice with Fredrick Taylor’s time and motion studies. Taylor would record the time it took for a factory worker to complete their job as well as the motions they used in completed that particular task. For instance, he would observe workers that lifted heavy weights and loaded them onto trucks. He would calculate the time it took for one worker to complete loading and thus compare it to other workers. The goal was to make sure if the employee was getting the job done quickly and effectively. Some workers were rather quick, but not effective in that they missed quite a few details (they dropped the weight, damaged the goods, lead to a high degree of defections). Other employees were effective but not quick (they took too much time, were overly meticulous and got less work done in a day as a result). The point is, Taylor realized back in the day that monitoring employees can be used as a tool to increase productivity and eliminate any redundancies that occur. Nowadays, however, even though monitoring tools have become much more efficient, managers fail to grasp just why they are set in place. Today, we’re going to delve in a deeper discussion on the long term integration of monitoring tools in our organizations. Dai and Milkman did some research in the health care sector. Caregivers, as standard protocol, were expected to wash their hands to prevent any hospital infections they could be harboring. Believe it or not, this was a habit plenty of them seemed to forget. The researchers found that the longer the day went on, the less likely the caregivers were to wash their hands. The more stress the caregivers were in, the less likely they were to follow standard procedure. To remedy this problem, some hospitals installed an RFID system. Now, if you’re not familiar with the RFID, it stands for Radio Frequency Identification. This uses electromagnetic fields to track objects or people that have been tagged. But the reason the RFID systems were put in place was not to monitor if the employees were washing their hands, not entirely. The reason these were put in place was to study how being monitored would affect the employee’s behavior. What’s more, they wanted to study if they can enforce (or rather develop) certain habits in their employees with the externality of being monitored (the habit in this case being washing their hands). So did these employees develop the habit of washing their hands when being monitored? Yes. What went wrong? When these hospitals stopped using RFIDs (on account of lack of funds, losing grants and the like), the employees stopped complying to the hand washing protocol. The interesting bit? The compliance rates dropped lower to what they were before the RFIDs were put into place. All that money that went into monitoring employees for a purpose; what good did it do when the purpose was not even achieved. The very utility of monitoring tools started to come into question. The outcome of the above study can be classified into two things. First, people comply by certain things because they think someone on the outside is looking in (a boss, a surveillance camera, a visitor). (insiderlyfe.com) They do it for external reasons—because they are being paid to do so, or because failing to comply will generate backlash. Second, people stick by certain habits because they genuinely enjoy it or understand that it is necessary. This is the internal reason.  They understand that washing their hands is good for them. The bottom line is, integrating monitoring tools for long term success is a lot trickier than you think. It seems simple enough to be Big Brother and keep an eye on your surveillance tools to catch an unfaithful employee red handed. But it is another thing altogether to integrate these tools into your operations in such a way that

Child Control, Spying

Spying May be Controversial, But Here’s Why You Need to Do it Anyway

/

“Spying” on children is generally looked down upon no matter what kind of parent you are. People talk about how parents should build their relationships with their kids based on trust. Even though the parameters of parental “spying” are blurred and there is much debate that goes on. Of course you’ve got the people that look down upon parents snooping on their kids. They think it is wrong in that it sabotages a child’s relation with the parent. You know how you wouldn’t want anyone to read your diary when you were younger? It’s the same privacy principle that these parents follow. Privacy is sacred and parent should respect that with their child. The kids are going to return that respect and hopefully be responsible with it. But we’re not dealing with diaries anymore. We are living in the world of social media, of instant connectivity, of handheld devices. These are much more dynamic, much more alive than diaries were. This is why I use spy for iPhone when I monitor my children. And I know for a fact that I’m not alone in this decision. It is in keeping this in mind that we’ve got parents who think what we’re talking about is not “spying” so much so as just “parenting.” You are simply taking measures to protect them from others and also from themselves. This party thinks that when parents buy their kids smartphones, they give them a privilege, not a right. So what you’re doing essentially is not spying on them, but parenting with knowledge. You are monitoring your child. You’re keeping in the know of things so you can protect your children and make sure they don’t make any mistakes that can have irreversible effects on their lives. Sure the word “spy” brings about a lot of controversy, but what you’re doing is looking out for your children. Kids think that it is their right to keep secrets from you. There is a line to be drawn here. To a certain degree, it is okay for kids to have their share of privacy. They should be able to formulate their thoughts by themselves and build and identity without feeling like they’re being observed all the time. Everyone needs a healthy amount of me time. But when we’re talking specifically about smartphones and internet usage, I think we’ve got a bit of a strange situation going on. Why do kids want to hide social media from their parents anyway? Let’s get one thing straight: social media is hardly a private place. Kids use it literally to broadcast information about themselves. They post a photo on Instagram or send a Tweet, hundreds of people see it. In fact, the amount of people that respond to a post directly correlates with how happy your child is. It becomes something to boast about. In some cases it has an effect on a child’s self esteem as well. For example, when a selfie on Instagram does not get enough likes, your child may get upset and delete the photo. On the other hand when they do get enough likes and plenty of comments about how nice they look in the picture, they feel good about themselves. The point here is that kids want that lots of people view what they do on the internet. They want to be noticed. However, they want to be noticed by everyone who is not their parents. Social media or the internet is a place that they’ve built sans their parents. They think of it as a place where they have independence. Their parents aren’t there to tell them what to do. So they can talk however they like. They can connect with whomever they please. They can view content no matter what it is. They can even share beliefs their parents would look down upon. In a sense, they can have an identity that their parents don’t know about. And because of this, they can be as reckless as they want to be. That’s the scary part. Therefore, as controversial as it may sound, spying is necessary, and I don’t think you should give it up anytime soon.

What You Need to Do About ‘Creepy Clown’ Sightings this Halloween 2016

/

Okay, so here’s the deal. More than 44 states in the country have now reported creepy clown sightings. They are popping up everywhere and freaking people out. The weirdest part at this point is that this phenomenon is spreading to countries like Canada and the UK as well. Now I don’t know what the deal with all these clowns is. Is it a big, extensive marketing thing? Is it a secret clown convention that no one has ever heard of? Is it a cult thing? Is it an elaborate practical joke or a hoax that someone designed just to mess with people? Is it something that has just sort of trickled down where people are simply dressing up as clowns to freak other people out? Or—wait for it—is it just one big ol’ coincidence that a lot of people seem to be spotting suspicious clowns in a town near them? I don’t know about you, but I for one am worried. There, I said it. Clowns creep me out, and these awful sightings have me sleeping with all my doors locked. What is up with them anyway? When will people get to the bottom of this? Because, Halloween is just around the corner, people! (https://tomadamswc.com) What if all these jokers herd together and pull a stunt that ends up harming people? While we don’t have answers quite yet, there is one thing we can do. Come Halloween 2016, we can start taking measures to keep tabs on our loved ones. Let’s put technology on our sides till this paranoia is over… or at least till the end of Halloween. What Are These Clown Sightings? Basically, there have been a “series of sightings” of various people dressed up as scary clowns in various places. It started in the US but as of August, has spread to other Western countries as well. Like I said before, these sightings have been reported in nearly every state of the country, and this is exactly why why there is such widespread panic over it. But the real question is: what are these clowns doing? For now, most of these sightings have been linked with violent threats, particularly to schools. Most recently, a student in Virginia used social media to hire a clown to kill her teacher. Although authorities have failed to obtain solid evidence to serious criminal activity, there have been a few arrests. I mean, if there have been cases of attempted murder—or conspired murder in the Virginia case— you know that there is a serious threat involved. I know that right now it seems like a widespread ploy. It seems like something is being made out of nothing at all, when in reality, it isn’t much you should worry about. But that is where you’re wrong. You do need to take the right precaution now—now, when this group is relatively non-violent. You don’t want the Clown Paranoia to turn into a downright Clown Uprising where people will get hurt. What are the precautions that you can take? I’ve got a few ideas. Keep These Clowns at Bay Here is what you need to do: Start tracking your kids now. Keep tabs on their location. This is not an invasion of their privacy. This is transparency in communication; this is a necessary move for their safety. Take your parental control apps and mark “safe zones” in them. These can be areas close to your home, your child’s school, your workplace, a café nearby that you trust, your friend’s house and other such places you are sure will be away from trouble. You will be notified instantly if your child or your loved one crosses the safe zone and enters into a danger zone. Contact them immediately in the event that this happens. Keep your trackers handy, especially when your children go out trick or treating. There will be a lot of kids in costumes, a lot of people hiding their true identities. This gives away an overall aura of letting your walls down and doing whatever you want. Make sure your child does not get harmed when there is an air of irresponsibility surrounding your town. Listen to your child or loved one’s surroundings, especially on Halloween night. Hear in to check if they’re doing alright or if they are in trouble. Okay, so maybe I’m taking this clown craze way more seriously than I should. But I have a phobia, and I have somehow become part of a country where clowns are coming together for a reason no one knows of. All this uncertainty relating to my biggest phobia… do I need to explain why I am losing my mind? So unless someone gets to the bottom of this, I am going to be as careful as I can, especially on Halloween. I suggest you do the same.

Great technological inventions among people have profoundly shaped our culture, communication, media, society, and entertainment. However, with these benefits come great dangers that every person should know about. What are Online Predators? Many people are not clear about what “online predators” are and what they are capable of doing, which is why they take this online threat too easy. According to iPredator.co, they are adult online users, who find children or adolescents to sexually abuse or harass them for personal satisfaction. These predators use the information they can gather using all communication technology and the internet to locate their target and victimize them. An interesting and equally horrifying fact says 50% of sexual offenders are married or in a long-term relationship. Sexual predators are master manipulators. They use the anonymity of the Internet to their advantage and target both boys and girls of all ages. They possess skills that can cripple any person’s sense of awareness. Always in search for more tech savvy and emotionally vulnerable kids as their targets. This infographic will give you a detailed demographic analysis into victims of online predators and how everyone using the internet is a likely prey to some very dangerous threats. The victims of online predators can be male or female, of any age, and of any ethnicity, from anywhere in the world. Let’s get into it!!! Reasons You’d Love XNSPY XNSPY is the most convenient and accessible way of protecting people against predator attacks. Given today’s social media usage it ain’t difficult for Xnspy to keep track of all activities Increased third Party apps use and reliability has raised a lot of threats, so screen conversations from popular ones like WhatsApp, Skype, Viber, KIK, Line, and Facebook Create a watch list of specific offensive words Get instant alerts against unknown or new locations visited Listen to unknown calls and even have those calls recorded Keep an eye on saved photos and videos of an Android or iOS device Instantly lock the target device whenever you want Check installed apps and even prevent installing offensive or unwanted apps Conclusion: This isn’t it—there are tons of other digital villains lurking around your child’s cyberspace. It’s our responsibility to create social awareness about cyber threats, and it’s not possible without educating ourselves first. Set moderate digital rules at home that aren’t too harsh on your children, so they wouldn’t have to acquiesce, or in a worst case, retaliate. Educate yourself about the online threats, because that’s the only way you can keep your kids safe, and make sure you remember the aforementioned tips on identifying the online predators.

I love this time of the year. I love the smell of pumpkin spice, I love how everyone makes an effort to light up their office and I love the fact that everyone can escape their realities for a little while by putting on a mask. It’s probably why most children love it, too, because who is better at make-believe than their young minds? That and the promise of free candy. But then, you also remember how reckless kids can be and how quickly Halloween can slip into a series of unfortunate events. So as the parent, you’re bound to be thinking about the whole family’s safety. What if we told you there is a clever, quite efficient way of attaining this with the help of XNSPY for child monitoring? It is probably all you’re going to need to go through Halloween in 2016. What Goes Down on Halloween? Halloween, no doubt is a fun time for the entire family. It is the one time of the year where the house gets to look spooky and wonderful. The kids get to become their favorite characters for once—be it Batman with the cape, Queen Elsa with the lovely blue dress, or Harley Quinn with the red and blue pigtails. But then the very fact that you can conceal your identity with a costume is rather scary. Predators know that there will be lots of kids out there looking for free candy. And it provides them with the perfect opportunity to step in. This is where parents will have to step in with their handy devices and tools and parental control apps for the child’s protection. Here are three parenting hacks you can achieve with XNSPY. 1. Mark Safe Areas Using the geo-fencing feature, you can take a look at the map of your neighborhood or your town and mark those as the safe areas. This way, you will have set virtual parameters around the place your kids are allowed to go trick or treating. These are the places you know are nearby and the places where your kids don’t have that much of a chance to get lost. If you’ve got more than one child, chances are they will be going out with each of their separate friend groups. In that case, marking safe areas on the map will give you the ability to keep an eye on all of them at the same time.   2. Mark Danger Zones In the same way, you can mark danger zones on the map. Places likely to be having adult parties, or bars or shady areas of the neighborhood can be marked on the map so that parents can get a push notification anytime the child tries to enter those zones. 3. Have a Blast all the Same XNSPY for child monitoring is used as a precautionary measure instead of as damage control. When you’ve taken the right precautions, you can avoid troubles and unfortunate incidents all the same. Halloween is super fun; your children get to step out of their comfort zones, become spooky or fun characters and have a bunch of candy as a bonus. You shouldn’t let little incidents ruin their day. It’s the only reason we are asking you to be vigilant using your parental control app. When you’re got the right apps, no one can stop you or your family from having a blast this Halloween!
