Who are you to blurb such utter rubbish!
My child has had a phone since she was 5! Its been my main point of contact with her as she lives with her mother. She has had two phones in 5 years, and has looked after them better than most adults look after their own phones, both are perfect, scratch free and working fully. She keeps within her credit limit, and only once has she gone over her monthly allowance and I get a list of all the calls and messages she has made, making it perfectly safe!
It has taught her to look after her goods, be responsible with her call time and we have a stronger bond because of it! She has owned a laptop for a year now and she looks after that as well, it has brought her a level of trust and responsibility, that IS parenting!
My Son is 5 now and about to get his first phone, and he will also come to learn responsibility from the experience!
You sir clearly have absolutely no parenting skills at all!
