  • Software marketed as tools to keep children safe may not be all it seems - with some apps exploited by domestic abusers. Survivors speak to Sky News about the impact of being secretly tracked and monitored via their mobile phones.

The article from Sky News discusses how abusers are using parental control apps, originally designed to monitor children's online activities, to spy on their partners. These apps allow abusers to track locations, read messages, and monitor calls, effectively turning them into tools for domestic abuse. The story highlights the case of a woman who discovered her partner was using such an app to control and monitor her, leading her to believe she had been microchipped. Experts warn that these apps, while useful for parental oversight, are being misused in domestic settings to exert power and control over partners. The article also notes the legal and ethical implications, with calls for better regulation and awareness about the potential for misuse of these technologies.
