[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I let my 5th grader do this starting this year.  He walks home, we live a block away, and I'm home about 90 minutes later.  No issues.  He texts me when he gets home.[/quote]

Why does your son have a phone?  He is in 5th grade.  Why can't he pick up the landline and call to say he is home - just like the millions of other kids back in the 80's, 90's, 00's and now that don't have cell phones as kids.  [/quote]

Why shouldn't he have an iphone? Will it bring destruction and ruin? What is so virtuous about landlines? Please do share, because we have not had one of those ancient things for years now.[/quote]

Not the PP but a 5th grade with a smart phone or an itouch looks at porn, social media, chatting, texting, mindless games, inappropriate you-tube videos, etc....   but yes let's not let him stay home alone.  That is so "dangerous"   :roll: [/quote]

Um, seriously?  Do you not already use a parental control software such as Net Nanny, Qustodio, mobicip...ect? I'm not even talking phones, I'm talking ipad, computers, ANY internet device your child uses? Because if you actually did have these controls in place you wouldn't be worried about phones.

Your lack of knowledge on the basics of safe internet usage for kids is stunning for a parent in 2016.[/quote]
