Cell phone debate

The only cell phone a 10 year old needs is the junk phone you've taken out the SIM card when you upgrade to a new one. Otherwise, if you go forward with it, do it only under the premise of having to pay for it with his own allowance and when he doesn't earn the amount needed to pay it, you repossess said phone.

I'm questioning why you are even considering it though.

My feelings is he is 10 y/o. A 10 y/o does not need a cell phone.

A cell phone at 10 years old opens a whole can of worms...that's when they start getting into trouble and hiding things from you and a cell phone will only exacerbate the problem...
