[quote=Anonymous]NP here with a question about data. I've seen a number of posts in various threads recommending that parents get a no-data plan for their tweens. 
It sounds sensible on a lot of levels but I'm wondering whether that would work for me because my main motivation is because my DD will be a "latchkey kid" for about 1 hour or 2 per day before we get home. She's a responsible kid and we live on a quiet neighborly street where people tend to look after each other, and there are a couple of other middle schoolers on the block. So it's not like she will be crossing major thoroughfares or walking through questionable areas or anything, but my mind will be greatly at ease to be able to use the phone for keeping an eye on her and having her check in with any issues or concerns.
I would use the 'find my iPhone' feature to keep track of where she is and would want her to be able to be 'connected' if a problem arose (like if our wifi was not working or if she can't get inside). Perhaps this could all still be fine if she still has calls and texts? Is there any reason to get data for when she's out and about and might need it for some reason?

Another PP mentioned that a map could be useful on occasion, although normally she'll be just coming to and from the bus stop. Any other considerations?[/quote]
