Lady at work gave her boys phones when they were around that age. They texted her and called her from school all the time. "The teacher is being mean" "So and So isn't doing what they are supposed to" "I want this shirt that Tommy has"...etc

They are both around 18 now and have HUGE dependency issues and turned into grown up cry babies because they never had the chance to go through normal life situations without the "apron strings" attached.

Honestly, if my 10 year old was going with someone or some place that I felt they NEEDED a cell phone for emergencies, I'd reconsider letting them go in the first place.
