We are developing and testing a sticker now that would simply go over your child’s electronic devices’ cameras. While they wouldn’t permanently disable a camera’s functions, the stickers would show “VOID” and signs of tampering, if removed. These stickers might<\/em> be great for ages 0-12 and would be a way for parents to work on their communication and trust with their children.<\/p>\n

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TEST SOME OF THESE STICKERS, PLEASE CONTACT US!
