Do you think children should have their own mobile phones? why or why not?

Yes

Explanation:

I as a parent think children should have their own mobile phone.

Safety reason being the main reason, because there are too many instances with child abductions, school shootings. It's not like it was 30 years ago when I was a child and we could hang out all over the neighborhood and parents knew each other and watched out for everyone's child. In today's society there is so much danger lurking that you have to protect your child the best way you can, and with our children having mobile phones it allows constant contact with our children. Plain and simple in case of emergencies.
