Kids getting phones for First Holy Communion is 'pretty scary stuff'

Children getting a phone with money from their First Holy Communion is “pretty scary stuff”, Siobhán O'Neill White, the founder of Mams.ie, has said.

“It became a bit of a trend where some kids were getting a phone with their communion money and that was pretty scary stuff to be giving an eight or nine-year-old a phone,” she told“I think they’re just not emotionally able to cope with the access to social media.” “It’s all of the things that they’re seeing; my 11-year-old, when she was 10, would make comments about her shape or her size,” she said.

“So they’re being exposed to a lot of things on social media and as parents we really have to try and limit that.”
