Very careless to give an 8 y/o a smart phone. Why is it so hard to raise your child?

Guess it’s easier to sedate/distract them?

My 8yo has a hand-me-down iPhone, but she only gets it when we go out to festivals/camping/a big park or something so she can wander off and do her own thing and then we regroup later. It's locked down into the basic "Assistive Access" mode so it only has the very basic features, no YouTube or entertainment at all.
