Robert Lotter Reveals How Child Safety App Is Keeping Kids Safe

In a recent segment on parenting and child safety, NBC's Kevin Tibbles highlighted the growing role of technology in keeping children safe, emphasizing both the challenges and solutions available to parents today. The segment specifically focused on the functionality of high-tech devices, such as the Z Pass and My Mobile Watchdog, that assist parents in monitoring their children's whereabouts and communications.

Robert Lotter, the creator, emphasized the tool’s role in preventing cyberbullying and inappropriate communications, while encouraging open dialogue between parents and children to balance safety with privacy.

The segment concluded with a discussion on how parents can utilize technology like My Mobile Watchdog to foster a safe digital environment at home, underscoring the importance of innovation in addressing modern parenting challenges.
