BUFORD, Ga., July 19, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- With their recent appearance on the nationally syndicated radio program, The Bert Show, and an in-depth interview with Leanza Cornett of Entertainment Tonight, creators Damon Davis and Chase Chandler weigh in on why parents have labeled their newest release from Legacy Technology Group, Smart ShepherdTM, the "must-have app of the year."

"I call it my 'all-natural anxiety remedy'" laughs Katie Dimartino of Georgia, mother of a teenage daughter and Smart Shepherd customer. "When that uneasy feeling wells up in you at 10 minutes after curfew and you reach for Smart Shepherd, you'll know exactly what I mean."

Smart Shepherd provides parents with the newest innovative technology for protecting their children remotely. With smart phones quickly replacing the computer, hundreds of apps are created by the minute generating new and trendy ideas that will captivate the demographic of today's younger generation. Of course we all know about emails, text messages, photos, websites, and Facebook posts; but what about VIBER, Skype, WhatsApp, Vine or Snapchat? Who knows what the next new social app or "social trap" may be? Smart Shepherd stays up-to-date with the latest trends and all new media sources so parents don't have to.

In addition to capturing real-time phone activity, that parents can view from their online portal, Smart Shepherd equips the child's phone with a Panic Button to be used in any emergency. With the push of the button, the child's phone automatically sends a text notifying the parents of an emergency situation, providing a map to the child's location, all the while taking photos of the surrounding area and uploading them to the parent's portal for immediate viewing.

Chase Chandler, father and co-founder of Smart Shepherd admits, "Today, my son doesn't even go to the convenient store for a pack of Skittles without that panic button."

Statistics show this year that 1 in 5 teenage girls, ages 13-17, will be sending nude photos through their phone or the internet. Smart Shepherd gives parents the capability to keep their family and homes safe and away from the dangers of the internet before they ever happen.

CEO of Smart Shepherd, Damon Davis, stated his concerns as a father of 5, "The reality is our kids don't always tell us what is going on, what they are feeling, their doubts, fears or what challenges (sometimes harmful) they may be facing. This technology allows me to be there, as a Father, to guide them on how to win in life and make the right decisions."

Taking action to protect your loved ones with today's mobile technology can seem impossible. But what seems to be impossible is now possible with Smart Shepherd.
