  The mammoth growth in the information technology sector in terms of both
quantity and pervasiveness has opened up a Pandora's Box of issues which are
relevant in technical and social aspects. This paper attempts to address one of
the critical issues among them which is concerned with the proper utilization
of computer systems and mobile devices by children and teens. This paper
proposes a model termed "RePort (Remote Parental Control System using
Smartphones)" which is aimed towards monitoring the access behaviour of
computers and smartphones in general and internet to be specific, by teens and
children in a private environment. The model is built such that the access
behaviour shall be monitored from a remote location with the help of smartphone
devices. The access- characteristics are modelled using various parameters in
four different layers of the model.The proposed model is validated with a
prototype implementation in the Android platform for smartphones and as a
background service for computer systems. Various experiments were conducted on
the prototype implementation and results of the experiments validate the
efficiency of the proposed model with respect to user's relevancy metric which
is computed as 93.46%.
