[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 347985, member: 1991"] It's ironic - the Aspie kid is the one least likely to need to be checked up on like this. I'm not sure if we can do this in Australia. They were talking about including it, but I think they took a lot of teeth out of our network system. However, the mobile phone I would love to have if I had a particularly needy or wayward difficult child, would be the Tic talk, it not only shows you where your child is at any time (or at least, where the p[hone is) but it also will send a text message to a nominated number (or an email) if the phone is taken into a parent-defined out of bounds area. Plus they can't send text messages and can only call numbers YOU have entered (grandma, Mum work, Mum home, school, emergency). Other facilities - there are games on it, they are educational and the kid can earn extra credits towards more parental permission, if credit levels (ie "I am getting much better at my tables, Mum") are reached. Your discretion. There can be time limits on certain calls - ie you can't call your friends until after school finishes. The thing hooks onto the kid's bag with a carabiner. We don't need one like this any more, not with an autistic difficult child who is fairly obedient and who also is studying from home. But when he was in Grade 5 or 6, I would have loved this. And if I had a teenage problem difficult child like some of you, the sort of kids who try to send explicit messages or photos - they'd be downgraded to this phone, in our home. Marg [/QUOTE]
