Emergency Alert Button Application

A 12-year-old middle school student came up with a new mobile app that turns the power button on any Android phone into a virtual panic button.

When the phone is locked and someone hits the power button six times, it sends a pre-written text message to several numbers programmed into the app. If a child is abducted, they can send a message to those who have been programmed into the phone alerting them to the abduction. With a 99-cent upgrade, the message receiver will get a GPS map showing the sender’s exact location. Presently “The Save Me Pro “app is only available on android.
