Same. This is the reason my daughter has one. Things are getting extremely hot out there and no one seems willing to do anything about it.

What do you mean by things getting "hot" out there? Are you monitoring any signals or predictors of school shootings at your daughter's school?

Sorry, genuinely trying to understand your perspective here.

Maybe buy them a Nokia 1100 instead?

I give her my old iPhone that's already paid off when I upgrade (and that I can put parental controls on.)
