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.

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...

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.

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!"

My inherent modesty inclines me to deny all of the above, but my well-known regard for strict veracity requires me to admit the truth of these claims.
And who let out that my middle initial is A?
