[QUOTE="greenrene, post: 642725, member: 9177"] Thank you all, especially 2m2r, for your input. 2m2r - we tried restrictions, and it turned into one of those "if you give them an inch, they'll take a mile" situations. When the school year first started, we sent her to school with a laptop that was VERY locked down (both I and my brother in law, a computer tech, worked on it). She still managed to get around the restrictions into dangerous territory (chatting/texting with vulgar strangers). We took the laptop away. Then, about a month later on a home visit, we got her a phone with very strict restrictions. What happened THAT time was, she stole an old smartphone of ours and took it back to school too. She registered the stolen phone with the tech department but did NOT register the legit phone, and then she proceeded to use the stolen phone to do whatever she wanted. It was then that we took away ALL of her electronics. [/QUOTE]
