Was DH right in saying this?

I'm just wondering what others think of this

DS 21 went out for a walk for about 30 minutes, he normally takes his phone with him when he goes out but on this occasion he left it on charge at home as he says it was nearly flat. While he was out, DH saw his phone was on charge and when DS returned DH gave him a mini lecture on how silly and potentially dangerous it was to not take his phone with him as he could have tripped and fell over and hurt himself or been attacked.

I'm just wondering whether DH was right in saying this or is he treating DS as a child.

If he tripped up and seriously injured himself or was attacked then go does you DH think he'd be able to dial?
We managed before the micro management of phones, give the lad a break and some freedom.

Your DH needs to relax it wasn't as if your DS was out of contact all day.

How old is your DH as I didn't get a mobile phone until I was 28 - which makes my teenager chuckle.

Gosh...I was 40, and only got one because my mother was being treated for cancer, and I was traveling to and from her home twice a week...almost 500 miles each way. Alone. At that point, it became a very reasonable thing to do. But I've never been married to it...or not until very recently. When I had to stop driving, I began routinely taking it places so that I could easily call a taxi. Up until then, I didn't bother.
