Taser recently announced their upcoming products which should provide parents greater ability to manage their kid's cell phone use. Their Mobile Protector product will allow parents to screen incoming and outgoing calls and messages, block specific numbers, and even listen-in on conversations if desired. Kids would be aware that their parents were listening in if the feature was used. In addition, parents, could set their kids cell phone up to alert them if an unknown number tried to contact them, allowing the parent to block the call if desired.

Mobile Protector would also allow parents to locate their kids using GPS, disable the phone for a period of time if desired, or even do a "records release" to forward important data to local authoriities if an emergency arose. Clearly some of these safeguards may be appropriate for the youngest cell phone users, but would be faded out of use for older kids.

The company will also offer Driver Protector which should help parent set limits related to calling and text messaging while driving. This will come in the form of speed alerts and blocking of certain functions while driving, set up by parents.
