Do you think a parent should be able to shut off their kids' cell phones remotely? (see details)

It’s been going around social media that a frustrated mother with a teenaged son created an app which allows her to disable the phone remotely, so that it can only call her or emergency services. It’s called Ignore No More and is available on Android, with an iPhone version in development.

Some commenters are saying that it’s a great idea, because they get worried if their kid doesn’t reply. I’ve seen women ask if they can put it on their husband’s phone. I’ve also seen people say that the kids shouldn’t have phones or freedoms if they’ve not proven themselves responsible. Others are concerned that this will be misused by those who are abusive – which includes psychological abuse and manipulation.

There doesn’t seem to be any verification or proof of relationship, so this isn’t just for parents with minor children, in fact some of the people I’ve seen in favor have kids in college and older.

What is your opinion? If you are a teen or young adult, would you want your parent to put this on your cell phone? If you are a parent, would you consider putting this on your child’s phone?
