Pretty cheap smartphone, only $200. Child had it two weeks and cracked the screen.

Telstra shop says $200 to fix it.

googled some diy repairs that appear too delicate for us to manage.

I wonder about sticking the gorilla glass onto it that I got and he broke it before I could put it on - might that help or it'll just make all the shards come out or something?

Meaningfull blow with a 2 pound ball pein hammer will finish it off.

Let your child deliver the blow so it can understand how worthless it is.

Why would any parent give their school age child a mobile phone??

Well obviously so that the child can conduct it's drug business!!

its drug business.

Lot's of parent's upgrade their phone and pas's on the old one's to their kid's.

Buy the new phone and this time stick the screen protector on it first and put it into a case.

The thing you stick onto the screen is not gorilla glass. The screen itself is usually gorilla glass.

You could try a local phone repairer operating out of a shopping centre, but it depends on how common that phone is and the spares they can get.

More likely lots of kids upgrade their phone and pass on the old ones to the oldies.

I think my mum got her own upgrade for the first time last year, and dad, I don't think he's ever had a new phone
