yeah, firefly is a good idea and it will debunk any kid’s argument about "oh I need one for emergencies. :p) .. seriously though, there’s really no need for most kids to have one until they’re in high school, or maybe even college.. sure every kid would love to have one, but it’s not really necessary…

as for driving age, that makes sense as a decent benchmark, but that opens up another issue of if/where they should be going alone especially at night. sure trust is one thing, but common sense in understanding that kids at that age aren’t very mature or responsible must be taken into account. i don’t think i would let my kid just wander around alone especially at night during their high school years. but thats another story.

AE, don’t forget about the Jitterbug for the elderly. hehe..

the reason i mentioned driving as a benchmark is not because they will be out at night alone…but for emergencies…what if their car breaks down or they get into an accident?

Also…no matter how much parents dont want their kids to go out at night…the fact is they will! High school kids ok maybe not but once they get into uni you cant stop them. What if they have group studies or they need to do research at the library etc? but yea like you said thats another story.

whats the jitterbug?
