2morecents -I’ll start by premising, if a child is not on a good way, then not getting him/her a cell won’t make a difference. They will find a way to do whatever they want. Usually children who become like this were abused in some way, either by the parents or by their teachers. As far as good children are concerned, there is a big difference between them and a person who is overweight and smokes. The good children to start having bad friends is a Meeyot shaino motzay, which we don’t have to take into account, as opposed to someone who is overweight and smokes. Therefore acc. to Torah principles, I see no reason to not give them cells.
