Should I give my child a mobile phone at all, or keep it away completely?
Phone is needed, misuse is the problem
The phone itself is not condemned; its misuse is. A phone is also needed today, since a child going alone can message or call.
Look, we do not condemn the mobile; it is the way it is used that is condemned. Take this child going alone: if something suddenly feels wrong, he can send a message.
