    My kid’s been walking to/from school and roaming the neighborhood since he was 7. Apple Watch FTW. It has its legit uses.

      “I’m going to strap a $700 watch to this $15K bag of organs, as a tip”

            You’re joking, obtusely, about abduction and murder of children. You expect people to be amused?

              This is the internet. Some people will. Probably a lot. Do you expect everybody to have your exact same sensibles and kind of humor?

              I get it. I’d bet the other commenters don’t have kids. There’s hypothetical jokes about kids, then there’s jokes to someone about their actual kid. Commenting on a post VS replying to this person who has a kid.

              I grew up with a very paranoid father. Somehow this guy has a stack of rough city survival stories but I couldn’t leave the suburban block. I don’t know the best way to raise a kid, but a watch and more freedom to roam sounds nice.

                I have a kid. She turns 18 in September. I thought it was funny.

                I also still make jokes about my mom, and she is now sitting on top of a shelf at Dad’s house as of a few months ago.

              If the neighborhood is safe for a 7 year old without an Apple watch, go ahead. If it’s but the case and they think the watch will make a difference… That’s negligence.
