It would be useful for kids who forget to reply or miss a message. Kids shouldn’t be ignoring you on purpose. No phone would solve that until they learned manners.

Good idea some kids are terrible at ignoring their parents

I think you should use this sort of thing with great caution. If your kid is old enough to have a phone, then they’re old enough to take some responsibility for responding to you.

Some parents would do that just to be spiteful. I know one Dad that definitely would even though it is programmed that the child can only ring or send messages to 2 numbers in an emergency and can only receive from those 2 numbers. I know it has an alarm in it as I have the same model.

This is brilliant

This is a good idea and allows phones to be used for contact purposes as a priority.

Ha! Ha! I am sure a lot of parents would make very good use of it.

A very clever dad indeed!

How many phones will have alarms going off in lockers during class times while parents panic and think the worst?

This is a really good idea! Kudos to him.

Brilliant idea!

Haha classic. Movie phones weren’t an issue when my kids were kids. Now they’re adults, we tend to call rather then text
