Any good suggestions of Spyware/Parental control for iPhone 4s?
My parents are having some problems with my 16 year old sister and I know many people on here are going to think they're being over protective and controlling before I explain the situation, but I assure you, they are justified. If you are still having problems understanding their actions, pretend you are her parents and put yourself in their shoes.
The Problem: My 16 year old sister has been sneaking around and lying to my parents for the past year. She has an iPhone 4S because her android phone she had before broke and the iPhone was a good deal when she got it. They'd had spyware to watch her texts and call log on the android because she would lie about where she was going and then come home throwing up drunk or they'd catch her in a lie and pick her up drunk. They also intercepted very inappropriate text message conversations with multiple boys that I won't go into detail about because as her older sister, it makes me want to throw up. Now that she's driving, this is all the more of a concern because if she gets behind the wheel drunk (or if any of her friends do) lives are in danger. These days, she isn't being as bad as she used to be, but there is still major lying going on and none of these kids parents care about their kids well being enough to put them on tighter leashes. So my sister feels like this poor, tortured soul because my parents wont let her do things like driving 100 miles out of town to stay at some boys ranch with all her friends and no parents and probably a lot of alcohol instead of going to the homecoming dance. I'll add that some kids did go to this ranch and there was a 4-wheeler accident involving 3 kids and all 3 were care-flighted and one girl has brain damage and several broken bones and only recently has come out of a medically induced coma. She'll have to be in physical therapy/rehab for the next year and her brain functionality will probably never be the same. These kids are spoiled and their parents are stupid for letting them pretend like they're adults.
All that being said, my parents have tried to get spyware to work to watch my sisters iphone, but since the IOS upgrade, none of the software works. They also could never see imessages which was a problem because all of these kids have iphones.
Does anyone know of a really good type of spyware or software that my parents can use to keep track of my sister and read her texts? She knows they have seen her texts and stuff so it doesn't have to be a secret to her, she just needs to not be able to hide stuff. They've spent so much money on different products and they just need to find one that works.
note: they already turned down my idea which was locking her in her room till she's 40 or taking away her phone and her car and treating her like she's an 8 year old. I tried.
