[QUOTE="Nancy423, post: 242886, member: 6118"] we gave difficult child her uncles phone (he passed away) so she would be able to call us if the bus didn't show up in the morning, or if she was at the park with- a friend she could check in with us. However, once we saw some inappropriate pics on there, it's been locked up ever since. she says it was the neighbor boy who took the phone from her and snapped away.........this kid is younger than her, and sadly, I believe her in this case. But it wasn't just the pics, it was the bringing it to school, dropping it in the hallway, and not following the rules. so now, if she's going to a friends house, she can use their house phone. If she's going to the park, I'll allow her to bring the cell just in case - but she has to give it back as soon as she walks in the door. As for texting - I didn't even know she KNEW how!! Then the sitter texted me (my phone was left at home) and my difficult child texted her back.... my feeling is that there are still enough land lines that she's got access to. there's no reason for her to have a phone. Yeah, there are times that it would have come in handy (like after the basketball game and I didn't know they got out earlier) but not enough for me to permanently give the phone back. [/QUOTE]
