PicsChecker Puts the Kibosh on Sexting
Developer’s Description: After years of worrying about predatory behavior, many parents are finding out that their own kids are often the cause of their own troubles. Sexting-sending provocative images or text digitally-has become a serious problem.
PicsChecker, a product of Wyd Eye Software, is an anti-sexting application built for the Android platform. The concept is simple: event capture. If a minor knows that their parents are going to be receiving a copy of what they capture and send, they’ll think twice before doing the wrong thing.
The software copies and stores MMS and SMS messages sent from a minor’s mobile phone. Then it sends the account owner (typically the parent) a single, daily email showing thumbnail copies of images, time sent and the phone number, or email address, the images were delivered to. allows parents and minors to work together to deem what is or isn’t appropriate for their family. The company, Wyd Eye Software, is keeping tight wraps on the product until CES but the intent is clear. Stop children from finding themselves victims of their own actions.
