Listen - a simple sms message alert when the phone goes off would help. When the phone is off and you know the kid is out - they get grounded. Add the ability to have a call list so they can only send/recieve calls from those numbers and you might have a good tool in todays world. I used to agree with the people who didn't want kids to have phones but if you can reach one before they do something really stupid then I think that it is worth it.
