Thanks in advance!

Yeah...don’t do it. Trust your child, but verify what she tells you.

for the mobile device, look at AirWatch or MaaS360.

for the desktop, not too sure.

Look up "WebWatcher"

you can get it for PC's and Cell Phones.

"SpyAgent" is another one.

Windows 10? Ask Microsoft, they monitor it with that OS.

You aren’t fooling us, Hillary.

It used to be easier to manage back when it was just desktop PCs, but now kids carry a mini-pc around with them (smartphones).
(I’m glad I grew up in a world where you had to hunt down a payphone.)

As for the phone, my son randomly asks his daughter to see it, and looks thru it. Take them by surprise, they usually don't delete things unless they're expecting it.

Teens are very adventurous at a much earlier age now.

For the home PC and for when she's using your home wifi on her phone you can use OpenDNS,

You can use the web filtering portion to block entire categories of sites, such as porn, gambling, etc.

For times when she's on the phone's cellular network you might check with your network provider (Verizon, etc) to see what kind of parental controls they offer.

OpenDNS allows the user to monitor and even block access on a home network. Works well and it is free.

Huge benefit: it can be done anonymously and no additional software is required. Only a change to two entries in your router.

Bkmrk.

Veriato is my go-to publisher for “spy software” at my business. It can record all activity on the computer, email, key logging, web activity, and you can set it to take screenshots at regular intervals. It’s more of a business product though, so you might be able to find something similar designed for home use that is cheaper.

If she becomes a goth person then worry.

There a desktop application that I used when the boys were in their teens, quite a bit ago (wow, time flies), anyway, I see the application is still out there but haven’t investigated the technical changes since I’ve used it. It was called Net Nanny, there was another one I think Parent Patrol which didn’t work quite as well. And for the record, I told the boys that I was using them, didn’t keep it a secret at all, but I was the only one who had the controls, teeheehee. If they absolutely needed to see something that was blocked then they’d ask me to unblock it. If it was something harmless then I did. It wasn’t to keep them away from things as much as to keep them and my computer safe.
