I saw her demonstrate this on the news and I thought, "Why not just take away the phone?"

By UR o n fones, dudes.

Jeff, I hate to ever inject a note of seriousness here in Dave's world, but the kids could be across town or across the country when the app is invoked. An app that would make their phones melt or explode might work, too.

As a social experiment, about ten parents simultexted their kids that the police were asking about a pile of water bottles and trash at a park. Suddenly, we had a cleaner park and a pack of Tweens back at the party host's house.

Is that the Nobel Prize committee calling?
No?
Hey, who turned off my *@^%#& phone?!

This lady SHOULD win the Nobel Prize.

For the very special stupid child who does not know how to delete an app from their phone.

Ain't enough Nobel prizes in the world. Oughta make some good money, too.

I LOVE this mother. And I mean that in the nicest possible way.

First world problems.
