Why? Puntos aren't all that great...

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?

I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.

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.
