ThirdParent Launches Kickstarter Campaign

NEW YORK - July 23, 2015 - PRLog -- July 22, 2015 | Flemington NJ – ThirdParent is excited to announce that they have launched a Kickstarter campaign (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/288172056/thirdparent) with a unique goal – to build out and test a free version of their internet resource for parents.

ThirdParent’s current service generates a Social Score for kids and teens that:

·      Gives parents a clear look at what kids are doing online and where

·      Highlights unsafe or inappropriate activity

·      Gives concrete recommendations for corrective action

·      Respects the privacy of minors

·      Gives parents the tools to have more effective conversations about best practices

According to ThirdParent Co-founder and CEO Gary Zell, “As a parent, it can be a full time job to track everything your child or teen is doing online. Is he being cyberbullied, or is he a bully himself? Would his posts look inappropriate to a college recruiter or future employer? Is she exposing herself to predator risk? Armed with a ThirdParent Social Score, parents get the tools they need to be excellent digital parents. If we can make a version free for all parents, we would view that as a big win for everyone.”

The Kickstarter campaign, kicked off yesterday, will run for 33 days and has a goal of raising at least $25,000.
