TeenSafe, the number-one iPhone, Android 
and tablet monitoring service for parents 
announces its commitment to supporting 
National Bullying Prevention Month through 
empowering parents to keep their children 
from becoming victims of cyberbullying. 
With the increased cases of cyberbullying, 
there has been a rise in awareness for parents 
needing to adopt digital monitoring as a part 
of their parental responsibilities. With over 1.6 
million parents now signed up with TeenSafe, 
the company continues to empower parents 
to be aware of what their children are doing 
online, opening lines of communication 
within families to ultimately prevent 
cyberbullying.

 TeenSafe gives parents a window into 
their children’s digital world to ensure they 
are not being attacked by cyberbullies. 
TeenSafe is currently the ONLY solution 
that offers monitoring for iOS9 device and 
is the only solution that has the ability to 
show parents deleted texts on both iOS and 
Android. The technology was developed by 
parents for parents as a way to watch over 
their children’s digital activity through an 
easy-to-use online portal.

 “Cyberbullying can be a difficult topic for 
teens to discuss with their parents. In fact, 
only one in ten children will tell an adult 
if it occurs. It is our parental responsibility 
to protect them from the terrible harm 
bullies can cause via online channels,” said 
Rawdon Messenger, TeenSafe CEO. “If we 
are not aware of the dangers they face, how 
can we help them?”

 As highlighted in the recent CNN 
study, #Being13, because a child’s self-worth 
is often closely connected to their digital 
interactions, they are more psychologically 
affected by online conflict than many 
parents understand. In the study, “Almost 
all parents -- 94% -- underestimated the 
amount of fighting happening over social 
media. Despite that finding, parents that 
tried to keep a close eye on their child’s 
social media accounts had a profound effect 
on their child’s psychological well-being.”

 “So many of our customers tell us that 
they discover a whole world of unknown 
issues when they first begin to monitor their 
child with TeenSafe,” continued Messenger. 
“Sadly, this often includes learning about 
abuse from peers that children are suffering 
from in silence. As parents, we can and 
should use these situations as teaching 
opportunities by helping them through 
issues and creating a positive turnaround.”

 TeenSafe gives parents the ability to see 
their children’s incoming, outgoing and 
deleted text messages, web browsing history, 
contacts, call logs, location and Instagram, 
WhatsApp and Kik activity to ensure they are 
not suffering from harassment of cyberbullies. 
Parents of Android users can now even 
view and monitor a list of their children’s 
downloaded apps.

About TeenSafe

 Founded in 2011 and based in Santa 
Monica, Calif., TeenSafe developed the 
world’s first iPhone monitoring solution 
that works without modifying your child’s 
phone, allowing parents to monitor their 
children’s text messages, location, web 
browsing history, contacts and call logs. 
Over 1.7 million parents have signed up 
for TeenSafe since inception and their 
web-based software solution provides 
parents easy and secure access to their 
children’s social interactions via an online 
TeenSafe account. TeenSafe has created a 
parental advice blog called Teenology.com 
which gives tips, guidelines and personal 
testimonials in order to support and help 
parents of teens in today’s technology-
filled world. For more information about

PASADENA UNIFIED 
CELEBRATES 
NATIONAL ‘LIGHTS ON! 
AFTERSCHOOL’ OCT. 
19-23

Pasadena, CA – The Pasadena Unified 
School District (PUSD) will join the 
national “Lights On! Afterschool” 
celebration October 19-23, 2015 with events 
that highlight the impact that afterschool 
programs have on the district’s students 
each year.

PUSD’s PasadenaLEARNs afterschool 
program is partnering with community 
afterschool programs such as the City 
of Pasadena’s After School Adventures, 
YMCA, Day One, Boys & Girls Club of 
Pasadena, College Access Plan, A Step 
Ahead and the Partnership for Children 
Youth & Families for the weeklong 
celebration. Approximately half of PUSD’s 
18,000 students attend a community 
afterschool program. 

Afterschool programs provide 
academically enriching environments and 
caring and supportive mentors for students 
– and peace of mind for working families, 
knowing that their child is in a safe and 
supervised space during out-of-school 
hours.

On Tuesday, Oct. 20 from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m., 
the Partnership for Children, Youth & 
Families, in conjunction with community 
afterschool programs, will host an event 
at El Portal Restaurant (695 E. Green St., 
Pasadena) from 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. Local 
business owners, city officials, district 
employees, and community members will 
celebrate the work of afterschool programs 
in Altadena, Pasadena and Sierra Madre 
and highlight the continued need for 
programs.

THE REEL DEAL: 

by Ben Show

THE SICARIO REVIEW

Few movies, to my knowledge, have been made about the drug wars 
in Mexico and how the cartels have an impact on the people who live 
along the southern border of the United States. And even fewer have 
been as mainstream as ‘Sicario’. With a great cast and a director fresh 
off a success (‘Prisoners’), does ‘Sicario’ succeed as not only a movie 
but as a political statement as well?

 Kate Macer (Emily Blunt), an FBI agent with the morals of U.S. 
government deeply imbued in the way she handles drug raids. After 
discovering a particularly gruesome drug house, she is recruited by 
Matt Graver (Josh Brolin) and a mysterious man whose name she 
does not know (Benicio del Toro) to be on a task force with an unknown 
goal; however, she knows one thing: the task force will make 
a big impact on the drug war. But will she have to compromise her 
morals to do it? 

 ‘Sicario’ is, like ‘Gone Girl’, a slow-burn movie; it takes a bit to 
get into the action. While the beginning does feature a brutally violent 
sequence, the film takes its time, building character and intrigue 
whenever it can. The cinematography is particularly impressive, 
breathing life into the deserts of Arizona and Mexico, and brings the 
stark reality of the drug war to American audiences.
