Parents use mobile monitoring software to observe and restrict their children's activities in order to minimize the risks associated with Internet-enabled mobile devices. As children are stakeholders in such technologies, recent research has called for their inclusion in its design process.

Next, they designed ways children could use monitoring software when they encounter mobile risks (e.g., cyberbullying, inappropriate content).
