1. An apparatus comprising:
- a first processor;
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer executable program code executable by a second processor, the computer executable program code performing;
detecting a failure to respond to a communication, the communication sent to a mobile communications device from a supervisory source; and
selectively disabling one or more functions of the mobile communications device in response to detecting the failure to respond to the communication, wherein the disabling of one or more functions occurs after the failure to respond to the communication,wherein the first processor transfers the computer executable program code over a network.

Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer readable storage medium are disclosed to control a mobile device. A disable event module detects a failure to respond to a communication. The communication is sent to a mobile communications device from a supervisory source. A function disable module disables one or more functions of the mobile communications device in response to detecting the failure to respond to the communication. An enable event module detects a second communication between the mobile communications device and the supervisory source. A function enable module enables the one or more functions in response to detecting the second communication.
