Anna is a young mother worried about her Mattia. For days the boy has struggled to fall asleep, he is not hungry and has little desire to communicate. Strange for a lively and cheerful guy like him. The woman, desperate, finally had to turn to specialists. Their response was mostly unanimous: the boy is fine, apart from a slight state of anxiety probably due to the change of city and school friends. However, Anna is not at all convinced that this is all it is about. She therefore goes to school to talk to Mattia's teachers and classmates. Here she finally discovers the truth: the boy had suffered an act of bullying, days earlier. Some pupils from another class, slightly older than him, blocked him in the courtyard and covered him with taunts and insults for trivial reasons. According to his companions, due to Mattia's "foreign" accent. Since no one decides to spill the beans about the identity of the creators of the episode, there is only one last possibility left: to install spy software on Mattia's cell phone, so as to be able to monitor live the situations that will see him once again involved and take immediate action.
Claudio is a middle-aged man who has been married for some years to a woman much younger than him. He has a history of divorce and heavy harassment due to his ex-wife's frequent betrayals. In recent months he has become suspicious of the phone calls his current partner receives at regular intervals. He fears that things could take the same turn. His has now become a fixed obsession: he stays up late to conjure up any subterfuge in order to bring the woman's betrayal into the open. He accesses her computer in search of evidence, follows her from afar until she disappears into the subway tunnel on her way to work. Is she really going to the office? Who is the man who smiled at her the other morning, meeting their gaze while they were jogging? Claudio is aware that these thoughts will not be able to benefit him in any way, indeed they will do nothing but plunge him into the vortex of suspicion and perhaps madness. Caught up in the impatience of the moment, he decides to steal his wife's cell phone to install spy software on it. One of those capable of picking up every audio conversation, every phone call and SMS message. He will even be able to follow her movements, through GPS tracking software. It is an extreme, yet necessary, solution. The only one who can really put an end to his atrocious doubts.
What we saw above are two situations that are well recognizable and easily found in everyday life. In similar circumstances the contribution of a spy phone could prove useful, and more often than not, decisive. However, care must be taken to ensure that the monitoring practice does not become a routine, otherwise the risk of resulting in illegality is high. The support of a spyphone can actually help a person to get rid of destructive thoughts and pressing doubts that take him away from a dignified existence, but in any case it is right to follow the path of common sense and moderation.
