That is exactly what we have gotten the two older ones. We refer to them as “terrorist cell phones”... simply because you can put the minutes/hours on and is very basic. If one is stolen, we aren’t as concerned since we know there is four or five hours on it only. I know a lot of FR’s live in better areas than I do. However, a parent has to think of their child’s safety. My girlfriend’s teen daughter had a frightening experience over the Summer. She was coming home from practice and a carload of young men kept following her (hooting and hollering out the window and yelling disgusting things). Poor girl was frightened to death and called Daddy. Well, Daddy met her within seven minutes. He knew where she was and kept the line going so he could hear. The car saw his truck pulling up and raced away. One may ask, “Why didn’t she call the police?” Simply put... the police could have been ten minutes or longer away and Daddy knew her car/location/and got there lightening quick.
SPOT ON!!!!!
The cops are good guys but Mom and Dad (especially my Former Marine hubby with the CCW) are quicker and more deadly.
Kids are kids. They are little “skulls full of mush” that we are charged by the Lord above to train to be adults. Until they are 18, they are under my thumb.
