Circle of 6 App Aims to Prevent Sexual Violence

Here is a mobile phone app parents and law enforcement can really support.

Circle of 6 is a safety app that won the White House “Apps Against Abuse” Technology challenge. The challenge was launched by Vice President Joe Biden and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

Users identify six contacts they want in their close circle and, with the touch of a button, they are able to give their location and ask for help from that trusted six.
