Bruh I don't even have a kid yet. Also, this could be for peace of mind if the kid is in a position where they can't ask for help from someone else.

When you do, I hope your opinion changes because:

A kid should never be in that position
If they are, a phone isn't going to help
There's a decent chance the phone got them into that situation (e.g. chatting with predators online)

So I reject the premise. If a kid isn't safe without a phone, adding a phone won't make them more safe.

We went talking about a phone we were talking about a smartwatch...

Change "phone" to "smart watch" and my point stands.
