A law saying phone companies can't open a contract for a kid without a parent present?
In most US states kids under 18 can't be held to a contract so nobody would give one to them anyway.
I think that's what doublejay1999 is talking about. Look out for the hidden /s.

Even then, they can go to a dollar store and buy a sim card for super cheap.
