What’s a bad idea?
Given the context, it seems to make sense that they mean it’s a bad idea to withhold smartphones from children in such a situation.
I would argue that they don’t need a smartphone specifically, but some means of external communication (a prepaid normal flip phone, for example).
To cutoff children from smartphones when they are in an abusive household. So many children are able to identify/get out of their situation using their phone
This article seems to be targeted at parents considering when/whether to get their children a device. I have a feeling an abusive parent wouldn’t want to do that anyway. So doesn’t really seem pertinent
