RAADR Announces Urban Dictionary Feature Being Added to Its Anti-Bullying and Parental Monitoring App

RAADR, Inc. , a technology and software development company that provides cutting edge solutions for cyber-bullying on social media platforms announced that it is adding an “Urban Dictionary” feature to its Anti-Bullying and Parental Monitoring App in the IOS and Google Play stores. Perhaps, the most important and powerful feature of the app is that it will allow parents to understand what is being said in a dialect spoken by young people. The urban dictionary will be an embedded dictionary of slang, cultural words, and cultural phrases. The inclusion of the urban dictionary as part of the standard architecture of the app is a game changing feature because a significant percentage of threatening online behavior is perpetrated through slang words and phrases that are not understood by the masses.

Cyberbullying terms have evolved as the Internet and online games evolve. While cyberbullying looks different than traditional bullying, the outcome is the same. The point of cyberbullying is to provoke negative emotions from someone else. Slang used amongst adolescents in the classroom could be indicative of cyberbullying occurring outside of school. Cyberbullying terms are important to know not only for parents but also teachers if one is to recognize the behavior and signs of cyberbullying.

The inclusion of this urban dictionary is a game changer to the overall functionality of the app and the youth it is intended to protect.

The “Urban Dictionary” feature is intended to be released in the Google Play Store and the App Store during the 4th quarter of this year.
