    Pagers. Kids under 21 can only get pagers.

    They get within two meters of a smartphone, both kid, parents, and whoever owns the smartphone go straight to jail.

      that does not seem to be right. 21 is way too high, and also this would effectively be a universal restraining order kids and not-so-kids, and adults. I don’t want to go to jail just because of walking by a kid or a young adult, let alone converse with them, only sick people would actually endorse this.

      but also pagers only do one way communication, don’t they? that is worthless here. the goal is not to just put a GPS tracker to kids, but to give them a simple communication device.
