Emily Andre has revealed she is worried about her children being bullied in schools as she has decided not to give them mobile phones yet.

Talking to new people! magazine, Emily admitted that she is torn because she doesn’t want her children to be exposed to cyberbullying by buying them smartphones.
She said: “It’s difficult because Theo and Millie are young enough that I haven’t had to deal with it yet.” But Millie will be in sixth grade next year and a lot of kids in her class already have phones, but she doesn’t.
“I’m concerned that it may get to a stage where bullying can happen if you don’t have one, even though there are concerns about cyberbullying when kids get a phone or social media.” I’m wavering between wanting to protect them but not exclude them.’

He continued: “I told him that my brother Andrés, who unfortunately passed away, and I were 16 years old. [apart]. He was my best friend. My other brothers know this, but he was my favorite brother. He admired him. I really don’t think it matters.”
