Hello,
I once had a discussion about this but should a 7 year old really have a Cell phone or something like it?
To me I could see a 12+ year old being a bit more mature enough to be using one, but a 7 year old? I say No as that just makes my skin crawl for some reason, as you never know what they could be doing on it, also it is a poor substitute for being a babysitter. Those kinds of parents just make me cringe like crazy.
They could be ripping their parents or single parent off of their Credit Card, talking to strangers for example or some other thing that is generally frowned upon.
Your Thoughts?
I merely am just discussing this as I am curious as to the general consensus.
In today's world yes. You can track the phone most would not expect a child to have a cell phone. Something happens whole playing with friends.
Gives them an option to dial 911. If your child disappears you can track the child. But you should definitely set limits through parental controls.
Honestly before cellphone I gave my daughter a long range walkie talkies for when she went to her friends house. That way if anything happened or made her feel weird she could contact me. Bo us I could call her home for dinner. I think in this day and age with the dangers, it just might be a really good idea.
