There is absolutely no way a 12 yr old knows for sure

In short, I blame the parents. "Take away their phone" is likely the best solution I've heard yet. These parents must be all stars.
That's so funny - I was on another thread here and said I won't let my 11 year old son have a phone, he's too young. You wouldn't believe how many came back and told me "cut the cord" or "give him some independence" like I was somehow depriving my son by not letting him have a phone. Then you read shit like this - I stand firm in disallowing my son to have a phone until he's (either 16, 17 or 18) and can buy one for himself with the job he has. By then he will be ready for it. I know there's a lot of argument for letting a kid have a phone if they are of driving age, for road hazard, etc. I'm still iffy on that - I drove from 16 to the age of 26 without the use of a cell phone and somehow I survived, just like every person since the dawn of mass production of automobiles did. Meanwhile we will let him just be a kid without that black hole of a distraction.
A Prepaid phone for emergencies works perfectly for very little money.
Like a clamshell? Yeah I could get on board with that. No internet access = much more likely to happen. Thanks for the tip! I didn't know those were still around.
