[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oy vey you people are crazy. There is no need for a 10yo to have a phone.[/quote]

Sometimes it is a safety issue.  If your child walks to school or takes metro, they need a phone.  Where do you live, PP?[/quote]

There is no way I'd let a 10 year old take Metro alone.  11 would be my bare minimum, but after all the track fires, and other safety issues, not to mention the actual crime, not even sure I'd go that young.

[/quote]That's great for you but some people don't have a choice.  A friend of mine had her 10 year old commuting by metro bus and metro rail across town to and from school. She was a single mother and worked outside of the city and had to leave before him in the mornings.  He didn't have an iPhone but he did have a phone.

And pp's are right about there not being payphones. I was in a situation recently where my phone was dead, my car charger stopped working and I was stuck in horrible traffic trying to get to my son in aftercare.  I really needed to call my husband to see if he could get to my son quicker but there were no payphones in sight.  I considered yelling at a driver next to me and asking them to call my husband for me but I thought that would be heading into crazy lady territory.  Unfortunately I got to him 20 minutes late.[/quote]
