It's not all about games, facebook and tracking your kids. Some families are in a unique situation where maybe the father works out of town for extended periods of time, and the mother may work nights. The child is then able to text or call the father when they want to, keeping in touch with the father and being able to text with the parents on the way home from school while on the bus, at night before they go to sleep or whenever they aren't with their parents. Not all of us want to track every movement of our children, we just want to be able to stay in touch and stay close.
Every family is different, and sometimes (no matter the age), cell phones are a great way for a parent and child to chat when they can't sit down and talk on the phone or talk in person.
