They do. Most kids these days have two parents that work and they need a
way to contact them.

I can't remember how old Angela was when I finally let her have one. She
didn't really need it. She needs it now. They are pretty much required for
school. The teachers told us if they didn't have one, we needed to get them
one and preferably a Smart phone.
