Please make sure as soon as the kid is old enough to recognize a call for help needs to be made that the kid knows how to dial 911.
I believe all smart phones will let a 911 call be made without the phone being unlocked. I'm not sure because I don't lock my phone.
Anyway, this was prompted by a story from the UK where the 5 year old child didn't know how to get help.
Her 5 year old logic said, "open the curtains and turn on the lights so someone will ask what is going on."
5 years old--the logic is not even what a teenager's logic would be....but I believe 5 year olds could be taught to call 911.
