buy nokia 3310 for them if you want to contact them during emergency, giving them android phones is an early introduction to social vices, they are too small to know right from wrong.

You can buy landline or Nokia torch. But please don't buy a smart phone.

Last night I saw my 14yr old help watching something like porn on her phone.

I don't think its having the phone that matters. I think its more of the functionality of the phone and the kind of access they have to the internet.
