There’s probably some nuance between not talking about any danger and “the world is dangerous! Suck it up!” Again, just get her a 3G phone. That should be sufficient for any kid. And that’s a solution will come a whole lot sooner than changing the whole system (and since it seems like a concern that needs to be immediately addressed, you should go that route) AND it has no tangible downsides for the population at large or you and your daughter.
TBH, I didn't know going to a 3G phone would accomplish what I'm looking for it to do for her. She has an iPhone SE. I wonder if I can adjust a setting in that to disable the alerts. I'll check it out. Thanks.
