single parents, parents working odd hours, divorced parents - they often must give phones to their kids at earlier ages

are you certain your kids ~~are not sneaking a flashlight under their blankets to read books until dawn~~ do not have a secondary phone to scroll tiktok until dawn, are not learning from friends about vpns, are not browsing porn

when your kids go to school or are away from home can you be certain they are not circumventing all those things you have had the talk about?

Why must single parents give phones let alone afford a phone?
It's a lot more effort to get a secondary phone than a flashlight.

Looking at some things at a friend's house is much less impactful than an everyday half-unlimited supply.
