11 year old with a mobile phone - wwyd

[Crayzeefrog]

So I don’t want to say who I am in this just yet. Parent 1 thinks DD should have free access to her mobile phone and checking up on what she does online would be showing that she isn’t trusted. Parent 2 thinks some kind of agreement that DD’s phone will be checked at regular intervals should be in place or that the phone should be checked regularly anyway as dd might delete things.

DD isn’t particularly open with either parent and is adamant that she isn’t into boys yet but her friends have hinted otherwise. She has been caught out in some silly lies.

Why on earth would you not get your child a fresh SIM card with a new number? If someone can use the number for dominoes they can use it for anything- this is so dangerous [/quote]
This can still happen with a fresh new contract/SIM. My number has obviously been either recycled or someone kept giving it as a fake number when they were in debt. It is incredibly irritating but it's not because it wasn't a fresh SIM card.

Just another reason to heavily monitor kids phones!

Parent 1 sounds like they can’t be arsed to be a parent and parent 2 sounds more responsible.

Supervise. Please!!

There is so so so much shit online. It's not about trust it's about keeping a child safe

Parent 2 is NBU. Parent 1 is either naive or lazy.
