Ipad Mini: Parental Control Time Restrictions

Hi there,

 

My daughter is getting a new Ipad Mini and we would like to use the same parental controls as we enjoy on our Macbooks and IMacs with regard to restricting the time of day they can be used and how many total hours. 

 

I DID search already and found the threads dealing with this, but the referred apps seem to only offer a preset game time limit or in the case of "mcgruff", provide an alternate web browser than can be restricted.  We want the whole device to be unavailable at certain hours and want the kids to be able to use safari and not some cartoon character browser. 

 

Any suggestions or pointers to Apps?  Apple shoudl really be offeirn ghis by now with 7 versions of IOS out, but they seem unwilling to do so.

 

Thanks.

Parental IPAD Pin question

I have read almost every question about the IPAD parental pin and people getting locked out by loosing or forgetting there pin. My question is similar but different.

 

I have turned on the parental controls and I have the parental pin. My 13 year old daughter has changed the user pin to her own number. Now I am locked out and can't get access to the IPAD. Having a parental pin that does not allow parental access when the pin is changed is usless. (or at least prevents the child from changing it when the parents have turned on parental control.

 

I read that Apple conciders this a single user devive. That is why Apple will not allow two pins That person does not have a 13 year old girlt that is talking to an older boy or man that will not give you her pin!

 

I realize that apple is trying to protect the users of the IPAD but in this case Apple may be allowing harm to our children by not allow the parental pin to override the user password.

 

Can anybody help me get access to this IPAD to try to find out if my daughter is in potential danger? I am sure she is trying to contact this guy now that we have taken her IPAD away. HELP! I can't even take it to the police because they can't access it either!!!
