Default Re: Cell phone debate

We have an extra one on our plan, and gave it to our 11 year old son for hockey weekends when we may be separated. Sometimes he stays at other hockey players houses, team mom will take em somewhere, or we'll stay at the hotel while he does things with the team.

It didnt take too long and he lost it. Now to be honest some other boys on the team have lost phones this year too, but my wife's number one objection was that she knew he was gonna lose it and he did.

It was gone in a matter of a 15 minute walk from a restaurant to the rink, we re-traced that route several times over the weekend but nothing.

Only really bad thing about it was that if anyone found it that day before we had a chance to shut the line down could have made calls to just about anywhere. We'll know when we get the bill I suppose.

You asked for opinions, here is mine: 10 is too young. In my sons case, 11 was too young. He'll be lucky to get another one until he gets a job.
