[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 531039, member: 1991"] I've mentioned before on this site - in situations like this where the mobile phone is being abused (or you're concerned it could be) but you still want to keep tabs on your child and be able to contact them or vice versa - TIC TALK PHONE. Look them up. I did not post a link, I figure you'll have more luck searching for it in your area. The links I got were flagged for Australia mostly, but I found a US site. The Tic Talk phone (there must be others that are similar) is pre-programmed by the parents. Four numbers including emergency. The kid can call one of the available numbers by scrolling though the four possibilities. There is no number pad, no text pad. It has a carabiner so it hooks onto a belt loop or a backpack. And I saw them reviewed once, they also talked about GPS capability so you could program in out of bounds areas and if the phone strayed into an out of bounds area, the parent got an email notifying them. You could also go online to track where your child is. They are a little more expensive than a standard phone, but given how much our kids can cost us, it has to pay off in the long run. IF you need one. We never needed one, thank goodness. But when Baby Grand gets older and goes to school, I'll be recommending her parents get her one of these. It's also a "primer" phone.
