Sharon Standifird, was livid the day she called and texted her teenagers and they didn’t respond.
Once she knew they were safe but ignoring her calls, she got an idea, Gainer reported.
"We need to develop an app that just shuts their phone completely down and they can’t even use it," Standifird said. "And I started — literally just started researching how to develop an app."
So after months of design and working with developers, "Ignore No more" was born. [^]

So you're kid gets kidnapped, and they can't answer their phone so you disable it.
Then their kidnapper goes to the bathroom, they think, "now's my chance to call somebody", and their phone is now useless.
Genius!

|

Nah, kidnappers always check if the victim has that app installed prior kidnapping them...
Then they forget about using their phone.
Genius!

The first thing they do is smash the cell phones...I see it all the time on Person of Interest...

Does that happen a lot?

Don't you go kidnapperhangout.com?, in their kidnapping 101 series they specifically warn the kidnappers about cell phones usage and in particular this app. 
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

So, if her kids ignore her, she wants to shut down their phones? How will that get her a response?

They would just call her and she can give them the password to unlock their phone.

With one tap, a list of only parent-selected contacts come up. The child can call, get the password and unlock the phone ... “It takes away texting, it takes away the gaming, it takes away calling their friends. The child will always be able to call 911,” said Standifird.

I assume she can set a different password each time. Maybe this is why my kid chose an iPhone this time...

Yes, she can choose any password when she locks the phone.

Yeah, I figured that out after reading the article. Should have done that first!

You are not the only one who said things that were explained in the article had you read it.
This article apparently had the effect on people where they were compelled to comment before knowing what it was all about.

I try not to do that, but on the other hand, I wish people who write the captions for articles (not you, but the article author) would describe the article accurately rather than sensationally.

A better suggestion is don't buy your kids a phone in the first place. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Ah to be young and stupid again, I would probably have had need of this. However old and grumpy does not require such tools.

Roger Wright is the Chief Clown of the Mojave Electron Rodeo.
Roger Wright is Commodore of the Arizona Navy. The Battle of Bullhead City resulted in his flagship forcing the Colorado Belle to run aground.
Roger Wright set out to write the next great five-book-trilogy, but his characters walked out in disgust after only three.
Burros run free in Oatman because the locals fear Roger Wright's wrath if they are inconvenienced in any way.
If you ever get on Roger Wright's list (he only has one list), feeding a carrot to an Oatman burro is the preferred way to get back off of it -- you don't want to experience the other way.
The quickest way to get onto Roger Wright's list is to suggest that Bullhead City was named for him.
Roger Wright put Jimmy Hoffa under the Boulder Dam. (See what I mean?)
Mike Hankey moved to Florida because Roger Wright said that Arizona wasn't big enough for the both of them.
Mike Hankey doesn't fly to Arizona; he drives so he can pack more carrots.
Roger Wright looks forward to going to Hell for its cool weather. For this reason, it's customary to greet him with a cheerful, "go to Hell!"

Roger Wright is the only person to successfully beat Man v Food.
Roger Wright's middly name is Always.
Roger Wright is the only person to have won the World Series, World Cup and World Chess Championship on the same day.
Roger Wright doesn't wash. Dirt is scared of him.

I'm sure he'll tell you that "Always" was his ex-wife's maiden name.
