Personal takeaways:
- photos taken with the device could be hacked, so no photos of any children, possibly expand to no photos of anything identifiable
- distrust that messages definitively come from parents, they could be coming from everyone. In emergencies, call, don't text.

My kid is playing robot and was waiting for my commands. I programmed him to hang up the laundry and... he does it? What is happening? Was that always an option?
My child sharpens his pencils. He walks from the table to the kitchen counter, where the sharpener is, with each pencil individually.
He could... oh well, at least it keeps him busy.
"Be home before dark." - Yes! I heard this one very often when I was a kid. The message of this video is so true!
