Overview:

The Child Safety Web Tracker (Simulated) is a web-based application designed to educate and assist parents in monitoring and ensuring their child's online activity through a simulated environment. It allows parents to view mock browsing history, set screen time limits, block unsafe websites, and receive alerts on suspicious activity — without actually spying, thus focusing on awareness and safety education.

This is an ethical, educational project, not intended for real surveillance, but as a prototype or simulator for parental control platforms.

Technologies Used:

• Frontend: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript

• Backend: PHP / Java (Spring Boot) / Node.js

• Database: MySQL / MongoDB

• Optional Tools: Chart.js (for visual activity reports), Socket.io (for real-time alerts)

User Roles:

1. Parent (Main User): Login, set restrictions, monitor activity

2. Child (Simulated): Generates mock online behavior (via AI or predefined scripts)
