Sure parents want to protect their kids, but when is it going too far? A new software called Text Guard allows parents to spy on observe their kids’ text messages.
 

Simply install the monitoring program on your computer and each phone, and voila, you can see all the texts sent and received. The software then lets parents block friends who they believe to be “bad influences.” And even when a person is blocked, the parent can still see every message the hoodlum is trying to send their innocent son or daughter. Download the software for a free 60-day trial, after which it’s $11.95 a month for all the snooping your heart desires.
 

It’s obvious that overprotective and concerned parents will flock to Text Guard. But you, over there in college, it can help you too! Worried about your boy toy with the roaming eye? Just install the program on his phone without his knowledge and you can get the inside scoop on his shady dealings. Is he texting that slut from sociology? Is that a 2 a.m. booty call you see? Be proactive and you can even block all the skanks trying to weasel in on your man. Thanks Text Guard!
