Bully Stop: Mobile protection

WITH the Phoebe Prince court case beginning next week, a team of Irish software experts has come up with an innovative application to help prevent a child being bullied through their mobile phone.

Bully Stop is the first ‘off the shelf’ mobile phone tool specifically designed to prevent children from being bullied on mobile phones.

The software is first downloaded to a computer, then transferred to a mobile phone. Parents can then configure their child’s phone to stop them receiving abusive or bullying text messages, pictures or calls from certain people.
