IRVING, Texas and SHREVEPORT, La., Aug. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- WebSafety, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: WBSI), the leading provider of mobile and Internet safety technologies, today announced the company will be contributing a percentage of sales from the company's suite of mobile and Internet safety applications to Benton Elementary School, located in Bossier Parish, Louisiana, as part of the school's Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) 2010-2011 school year initiative.
Parents of the Benton Elementary School children will be encouraged to purchase subscriptions of the CellSafety and WebSafetyPC applications which help to prevent incidences of distracted driving as well as unlawful Internet behavior such as cyber predators, explicit or degrading texting and cyber-bullying. Benton Elementary School will receive 20% of every subscription level which range from $9.99 to $39.99 per month and can be purchased by visiting www.mywebsafety.com/BESPTO.
"WebSafety is pleased to pledge our support to not only provide needed school funding for Benton Elementary, but to offer parents a reliable way to protect their children from cyber-bullies, degrading text messaging and unsafe Internet behavior," said Travis Bond, Chief Operating Officer of WebSafety, Inc. "Our patented software enables parents to monitor their children's mobile phone and online activities without compromising their privacy in order to empower families to communicate openly about potentially dangerous situations."
WebSafety's suite of services, CellSafety and WebSafetyPC, inhibit texting in school via "No Texting Zones" in order to prevent scholastic cheating as well as notifications in real-time regarding what websites their kids are visiting and if users are sending or receiving inappropriate text messages.
"With 21% of 8-to-10 year-olds and almost 70% of 11-to-14 year olds owning their own mobile device combined with hours of time spent online, parents need a viable solution to help monitor their children's usage of these technologies," said Karen Johnson, treasurer of Benton Elementary School's PTO.
