    I trust my kids. I don’t trust random weirdos that hang around schools though

      What are you worried those “random weirdos” are going to do? I also haven’t seen those weirdos that you claim are so ubiquitous, the people who hang around schools are kids who go there.

      A “random weirdo” doesn’t want anything to do with your kids. If you look at the stats, the vast majority of crimes against children are from family members or close friends, as in, the people who would be texting your child on their phone/watch.

        Well look at you, Mr. Anecdote!

        Now I’m worried that you think my kids go to the same school as your kids. Or City. Or Country. Hell, even continent

          If I was legitimately worried about wierdos hanging around my kids’ school, I’d move them to a different school. Giving them a phone or smart watch won’t fix that problem.
