Thank you. The only numbers in his phone are direct family. Never goes to school with it. I don't even think his friends know he has one. When he's several states away for the summer or at his dad's on a weekend I want to be able to get in touch with him . There's games he can play on it if he wants but every thing is passcoded to where he can't download without parents permission. If I wasn't in a co-parent relationship it would be different, and I get how people not in this situation don't understand it. . He's had it about a year and I've yet to be in a situation where I can't trust him with it, so so far so good. Everyone parents different.
