I did the prepaid cell phone thing. my daughter use to walk a block to
school and she would call me once leaving the school and talk to me all the
way to the front door. I enjoyed this a lot. it gave her the independence
she needed and the comfort I needed to know she was ok.

feel better and you can afford it ... buy her a cheap cell phone with a
preset amount of minutes on it, then you know if there are any problems ...
she can call you.
