Help Offline Secretly locking phone

[archz2]

My mom has found some of my call recordings that were very private and I was talking about things parents shouldn't know. REeeealy private stuff. She's now really annoyed about my activities and now has confiscated my phone. She's gradually listening too all my call recorder call logs and getting to know crazy stuff that I do.

I want to secretly lock my phone. Damn. Is there any way to do that? Like I make some phone call from my landline number and boom. it gets locked?
She's now hiding my phone in her locked cupboard and I have no way to get it and wipe private stuff. I'm running android 4.2.1 jellybean. I live in new delhi, india

You can remotely wipe your phone through google, unless its powered off. It begs the question though, what are you doing? Just a tip, talk to your mom about it. You can erase what she doesn't already know but you can't remove what she does know.

The phone will timeout and lock itself.

When logs betray. This is why we need a real linux phone. This would have been easily avoidable with encryption and passwords. Saving logs as a different user and not running as "root". I don't like debian, never have never will, but I cant wait for the ubuntu phone.

But that will happen if it is connected to internet isn't it? I have no internet packs installed. I have no idea about device manager app.

And yeah

Send setup notification?
To use the lock or erase options, you need to turn them on for the selected device. Send it a notification to get started.

This notification stuff will alert my mom. I didn't proceed. And it tells about my phone's location unavailable on 28th November, the day I used my internet pack to the fullest and it got expired.
