Fed up with her son's failure to pick up the phone when she calls and his ability to never answer her texts, the discerning Houston mom decided, with the ways of modern technology, surely she could do something about it.
受夠了兒子永遠(yuǎn)不接電話自己的電話，也不回短信，這位眼光敏銳的休斯頓母親決定利用現(xiàn)代科技做點(diǎn)什么。

'I literally just started researching how to develop an app,' Standifird told CBS.
“說實(shí)話，我也只是剛開始研究怎么開發(fā)一個app?！八沟し茽柕逻@樣告訴CBS。

Once she started, Standifird didn't stop, and after a few months of designing the application and then meeting with a developer, the result was Ignore No More.The app allows Standifird to deactivate the phone belonging to her son, Bradley, after installing it onto his iPhone.
一旦開始，斯丹菲爾德就不打算放棄。幾個月的設(shè)計(jì)之后，她和一名開發(fā)人員進(jìn)行了會面，最后研發(fā)出來一款叫做“不再無視”的app。只要安裝成功，它就可以讓斯丹菲爾德能夠控制兒子布拉德利的手機(jī)。

Bradley requires a password to reactive the phone, which only his mom has.He cannot call or text anyone but his mom when Ignore No More is activated.The phone will let him dial 911, but it won't let his access internet or games.
安裝成功后，布拉德利的手機(jī)需要密碼才能啟動，而這個密碼只有他媽媽才有。只要“不再無視”app啟動，他就只能給媽媽發(fā)短信或者打電話。他也可以打911，不過不能聯(lián)網(wǎng)也不能玩游戲。

'Bradley needs to call me because I'm the person that has the unlock password,' Standifird said.Her husband William said he is not surprised at the capabilities of his wife, who served in the Gulf War.'Pretty much anything she sets her mind to she does,' he said.
“布拉德利就只能給我打電話，因?yàn)槲沂俏ㄒ挥薪怄i密碼的人?！彼沟し茽柕抡f。她的丈夫威廉說他一點(diǎn)都不驚訝于妻子的能力，畢竟她是在海灣戰(zhàn)爭服役過的人?！盎旧纤胱龅木鸵欢茏龅??！彼@樣說。

Standifird said the app had made an immediate difference in being able to contact her son.To ensure his phone is not shut off, Bradley has been responding to every text and answering his mother's calls.'I thought it was a good idea, but for other people, not me,' Bradley told CBS.
斯丹菲爾德說這款app使兒子跟自己的聯(lián)系立刻變得不同了。為了保證電話能正常工作，他會回復(fù)媽媽的每條短信，每個電話也都接?！拔矣X得這個點(diǎn)子很不錯，但是是對其他人來說，不是我。”布拉德利這樣告訴CBS。
