Question

Does this exist?

Jan 9, 2015 4:17AM PST

I know, i know....when it comes to computers and the internet, just about everything exists. I need a software that i can access with my cell phone to shut off my children's laptop with the press of a button. I've looked into remote desktop access with TightVNC but i don't know if this option is available with it. Thanks for the help!
