[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d be thrilled. I hope I can be that courageous when my kids get old enough. [/quote]

Me too. Elementary and middle school kids do not need unsupervised and unrestricted internet used, especially when in groups. [/quote]

This is a much bigger concern than mommy needing an immediate answer to whether the kid wants pizza or sushi for dinner.[/quote]

Agreed. Creepy perverts can hide behind being “good parents” “screen free” and removing all means of communication from kids. Grooming made easy. [/quote]

People like you should just never allow your kids out of the house. You can never be too safe.[/quote]

Please. My kids are allowed to bike for hours all over the neighborhood. They are allowed the type of freedom you fear.

The reason they are allowed to do this is because they have a watch and call for help in an emergency. I also talk to them about never ignoring the gut feeling that something is wrong. The discomfort you want OP’s child to ignore.

My kids know that any adult who wants to block them from calling a parent is not a safe person. [/quote]

Yeah, everyone I know gave their kids more freedom, not less, once they had a watch or phone.  Lots of potential issues with smart devices, but this is a positive side effect.  [/quote]
