To cutoff children from smartphones when they are in an abusive household. So many children are able to identify/get out of their situation using their phone
This article seems to be targeted at parents considering when/whether to get their children a device. I have a feeling an abusive parent wouldn't want to do that anyway. So doesn't really seem pertinent
Given the context, it seems to make sense that they mean it’s a bad idea to withhold smartphones from children in such a situation.
I would argue that they don’t need a smartphone specifically, but some means of external communication (a prepaid normal flip phone, for example).
What's a bad idea?
