The True Crime here is an 11 year old child with a (I suppose) Smartphone.

Can be a normal phone which is what I would do if I where a parent and my kid would have to bike 12 km to school every day.

Normal Phone would be fine :)

I would totally understand if it was in a place where your kids can take a walk or public transport to school or other places on their own. I would also want them to have means to call you.

EDIT: my bad, I ignored the 'smart' bit there. I just meant any phone.

I think I was maybe 12 when I got my first smartphone, admittedly they weren't really a thing much earlier than that and while I definitely have issues I'm pretty sure none of them were caused by the phone

There was no Instagram/TikTok back then, though.

Or Cocomelon, or other services and channels literally designed to break impressionable brains.
