      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.

        I grew up in Suburban hell but I also don’t recall that being a thing that existed in my time or place, then again everything so isolated I wouldn’t have noticed even if that was a thing. Don’t let corporations continue to destroy our communities by selling fear

        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.
