[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we are getting my 8 year old one for camp.  Why is it such a big deal?[/quote]

Why does he need one? Genuinely curious. Not being snarky. [/quote]

To contact us.  Its not a local camp and we will be staying in a hotel/him going daily.  How else can he contact us?[/quote]

Why does he need to contact you directly? Counselors and/or administrative staff can call you. That's how it's been for decades, and it's been fine. [/quote]with that logic, i guess teenagers don't need phones either lol or anyone for that matter. just ask your boss at work to call home. [/quote]

Teens come and go way more than 8 year olds do. The 8 year old is at one place all day. And the parents know where that place is. [/quote]
Not true, little kids sports, band practice, hanging out with friends, camp, field trips a lot of the same things teen do. [/quote]

The parents know the schedule. They made it. The 8 year olds are not driving nor are they getting chauffeured by anyone but adults or older teens who have phones.

Teens are away from their parents for hours on end and go where they please. Some drive. They get rides with older friends. They use uber. Or the metro.

Eight year olds are not teens. Eight year olds don't NEED phones. [/quote]
