what did you expect from an american company?

I see nothing wrong with that. Kids need guidance in order to keep them out of harms way. There are all sorts of tools to monitor their internet use so why not keep them safe on their phones as well.

Responsible parenting in contrast to 1984? pffft...

Kids need to go to the school of knocks and bumps, but you dont want them knocked about too much!

I dont know where the line is, but I think this phone is probably on the wrong side of it.

Parents choice.
