If the use of the phone during class is not breaking a school rule...I am not sure you have an argument, but now is the time to be teaching (from a unified front) the responsible and SAFE use of technology. A person, walking alone, should have the phone in hand, unlocked, and be ready to call/photograph/video an attacker, stalker or someone 'approaching' them.

Let Dad teach her the right things to do - take pictures, make a journal, keep a schedule.

Its an adult and useful tool and these are the children of the digital age. They will lead us. There is no reason to keep her away from technology, but its important to keep her safe in all applicable ways.

Maybe she can check it in at school?
