[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really disagree with a lot of what has been
posted here. If I send a child or teen to a sleepover with a phone it is for his/her use, and I want them to habe access to it without needing to ask or turn it on. I would be really put off if someone took something that belongs to my child. [/quote]

This.
My 10 year old dd was at a sleepover at a good friends house for the first time, and texted me at 1am that she didn't feel comfortable there and wanted out of that house immediately. Luckily the issue wasn't as horrifying as it sounded, but when you get a text like that from your daughter, you're grateful that she has access to communicate with you without going through the parents.

I'm curious-- what was the issue?[/quote]

Pp here. Someone was telling slender man stories. 
After texting back and forth a few times, I called her because I wanted to make sure she was ok, but she wasn't letting on what the issue was because all her friends were within inches of her. I feared something much worse, so I told her to have her friend who's house they were at tell her parents that she felt sick and wanted to go home and we would be there to pick her up in 10 minutes. 
After it was all said and done, I felt like it may have been a good lesson to dd that she has the power to be proactive and get out of a situation she doesn't want to be in. [/quote]
