why should kids have cellphones?

Answer 1

As times change so does technology, and how we live. It's nice to be able to contact our kids when ever we need them, and it can be a useful tool to help them become more responsible, especially if they have to pay for the time usage!! But if it's just a toy that they don't respect,and may break in the first 6 months then they are not mature enough for one yet.

Answer 2

some cellphones have tracking systems and they also have emergency numbers. If a child gets lost at the zoo, mall etc. it is very helpfull

times are different now and its just safer to have a way for your child to reach you or someone that can help them at all times. i recently got my 7 yr old niece a cell phone and it was the best decision i think i could have made with my mom having MS and her being there with her when i am at work if anything happens she can call me. this has already happened when my mother had an allergic reaction to a new medication she was able to call the paramedic me and my aunt i was far so my aunt beat me to my house and picked her up and they got my mother taken care of and made it through just fine.
