Thousands of unaccompanied teenagers subjected to a bomb attack. Without access to their phones, this could've been so much worse.
- tomcooks 9y agoHow worse and for what reasons? I don't understand how phones mitigate bomb attacks
- maxehmookau 9y agoThey allow children to get hold of their parents, order transport home, etc. If they've run away from the venue without first unlocking their phone, they end up wandering around outside, at night, alone after a significant event such as this.
- rlpb 9y agoWhen I was a child, I managed to go events largely unsupervised and without a phone. I would already be told what to do in the event of getting separated in an emergency, such as having pre-arranged rendezvous points unique to my group. > If they've run away from the venue without first unlocking their phone, they end up wandering around outside, at night, alone after a significant event such as this. Only if their responsible adults don't take reasonable precautions. What happens when a child loses a phone or has one stolen? They should have a plan before going, whether phones are restricted or not.
