Safety Minus the Spying
Came across this article about GoGoStat Parental Guidance today, perfect title for a blog post on this particular child monitoring app:
When it comes to GoGoStat Parental Guidance, we always want to stress that its purpose is for parents to monitor their children on Facebook, not spy on them. Spying means that a person being watched does not know who is watching them, or even that they are being watched. Monitoring means that the person being watched knows it is happening, and by whom.
“GoGoStat Parental Guidance is an application that lets you monitor your child at a certain level, with her permission, of course.”
-Umma of www.jeandf.org
Since Parental Guidance requires that the child accept an invite to the application from their parents, the teen knows what is happening and who is involved, making it a monitoring situation. We would like to thank Umma of www.jeandf.org for the article she wrote about GoGoStat Parental Guidance, and the importance of not spying. Check it out!
