A recent survey concluded by finding the fact that most parents request for an aid that can track the activities of their children. Through this application a parent can see the call log list, sim change logs, website visited logs, calendar logs, GPS location logs and messages sent and received in the child’s mobile phone. Also parent get alerted when the child cross boundary set by parent or whenever the SIM is changed in child’s mobile. Whenever the parent want to see the activities of the child, parent only need to open their app. The app make a request to web server and get all the details from the server using jax-rs web service (rest). In child part every message, call, browser events will trigger a content observer. This causes the changes to be updated in the server. So the parent will always have a control over their child’s phone. Even though child can delete the call log and SMS details manually, this application stores all the deleted data in the server. Content of the message and log can be viewed by their parents even if their child changes the number. Thus the application provides immense potential in monitoring and safeguarding children.
