At a time many are saying parents should be extremely cautious before buying their children phones, based on Chrisland schoolgirl sex saga, a stakeholder has warned against denying them the gadget.
Media practitioner, Reno Omokri, rather says what parents should know is that it is not compulsory expensive schools without quality.
Although Chrisland is not known to lack in academic quality, he stresses.

“Don’t send your children to expensive schools. Send them to good quality schools.
If a good quality school is expensive, good.
But a school is not automatically of good quality because it is expensive, and a school is not necessarily of bad quality because it is not expensive.
Do your research.
Focus also on the morals, not just the academics.
Depriving your teenager of a phone because another teenager misbehaved, may make your child feel inferior to their teenage mates who have phones.
Such inferiority complex can last a lifetime.
IF you can afford it, give your child a phone, then monitor their use of it.”
