Petition Help make it illegal for kids to have Smartphones under 12 yrs old to stop abuse

I believe that children under the age of 12 (at least) should only be able to have phones that can make a simple telephone call or simple text (without pictures) to prevent the abuse that is a growing problem using social media.

More details

I read in the national papers and hear from parents of their children and the problem in keeping them off their mobile telephones, there is enormous social pressure for a smart phone for kids which is not a healthy device at early ages I believe and want support to change the law.
