Bully Buster

Stop kids from bullying yours by text message

Parents: If you suspect your child may be the victim of bullying, this easy-to-use app automatically forwards text messages with words associated with bullying, from your child's phone to yours. Simply install the Bully Buster app on your child's phone and configure it with your own phone number. When the app runs, it searches all text messages that your child receives and forwards to your phone only those messages that contain aggressive or offensive language.

This app runs in the background, and does not show forwarded messages on the child's phone, so they can't be called a tattle-tale!

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS:

In order to hide the application on the device, we have given it a generic icon and the name "Filter". To use this application:

1. Open the application launcher and open the "Filter" application

2. Enter the phone number which you would like to receive the forwarded messages

3. Press the "Submit Number" button.

Once this is complete you can press either the back or home buttons. The application will keep running in the background and forward any messages that contain bullying words to the number you have set.

If you would like to stop the application, reopen the "Filter" app, press the menu button and select "Quit". The application will no longer forward messages. If you restart the phone, you must restart the app.
