Most kids have a smartphone and the parents should know what the kids are doing anyways. Sounds like an added feature

I don't know many 6/7/8 year olds with their own phone. This can also easily show the parent who their kid is playing with/communicating with, because most parents are not going to turn on the game console and go through the menus and do all that. 

So added feature?
