I've always wished there was an iPhone Kids Edition. An affordable phone, locked down right out of the box, with a dedicated Kids App Store with carefully vetted games/educational apps and built-in family locator app. Like, acquire Life360 and give it extra powers.

@GregJaffe @legaladvice_txt Heartbreaking. And people were living like this well before the pandemic. We should have helped them then and we should help them now. Drug and alcohol treatment programs. Social services. Mental/health care. A living wage. These things matter. but not to far too many Americans.
