The arrival of mobile phones in the society is a blessing and a curse to many parents. However mobile phones have also provided a leeway for criminals and malicious people to target children for exploitation and other activities such as kidnapping. Ndungu who is also a counsellor says phone use among kids may work to the disadvantage of parents if not closely monitored. The software also allows parents to screen calls and contacts, check what websites kids visit and provides GPS information about the whereabouts of children. "Supotco allows parents to provide a simple way for their children to avoid unnecessary contacts, harassment and cyber bullying when using a mobile phone,” he says in an interview.
