Now where are the parents who insisted that their little darlings have cell phones in middle school? I remember the arguments that they provided. Can anyone verify that one life has been saved, one threat has been thwarted, or an emergency was reported any sooner by an eighth grader carrying a cell phone to school?
ReplyDeleteWhen the parents see their daughters naked on the Internet they might recall the opposition to cell phones.
I don't know where those parents are, but this wasn't on a cell phone.
ReplyDeleteAn IPod Touch was used in this instance.
kajeet.com sells phones that can be set to call only specified numbers during school hours. (like home)
ReplyDeleteThere may be similar companies that may be useful for especially worrisome parents.
You can also block certain features such as sending pictures. GPS, for an add'l fee.
