How do we know this? Because the first step toward Communism is Socialism, and none of the aforementioned are even remotely Socialist in any way, shape, or form.

My sister, after multiple incidents in which her kids' safety and well-being was endangered because they were unable to contact her, started requiring them to carry their phones on them all the time (and got a phone for the youngest, then about 8, who didn't already have one), in direct contravention of school district policy. She told them that if any of their teachers gave them any grief about it, they were to refer them to her.
It's worth noting that public pay phones basically don't exist anymore.

Why can't they contact the school and have the school contact the kids?

Non-wifi-capable cellphones: Absolutely no problem having them in childhood. Parents might need to call them while they're out playing.
Non-wifi-capable, game-capable cellphones: Kind of a grey area. I presume the point of sending them outside is so they can play something other than video games.
We very specifically need a type of "children's phone" that has calling but no Internet. Too bad too many people dare not admit the Internet is a cesspool to push for one. They might then have to admit that the "gatekeepers" controlling the old media were providing a valuable service after all.

The world is a dangerous place. Kids being able to contact their parents, or emergency services, no matter where they might be is not an unnecessary luxury that's spoiling today's youth. It's an important safety precaution.

Actually it's not as dangerous as it used to be. Assuming you're American, as this article shows, violent and property crimes in the United States both peaked in the 80s to early 90s, so especially if you're part of Generation X, you probably grew up in a way more dangerous time than today's kids are. We just think crime rates have gone up because of how much exposure we get to grisly stories on the TV and the news. I guarantee that if you'd made this argument in 1980, people would have thought you were crazy, not least because cell phones weren't around then. And yet the vast majority of Generation X turned out just fine, and they'll probably live longer on average than today's kids anyway for unrelated reasons (obesity, drug overdoses, our uncertain political and environmental future, etc.).
