Rebecca Judd’s son broke his school’s phone ban this week by using his new Apple Watch to text his mother and make a prank call to ’emergency services’.
The AFL WAG, 41, who shares four children—Oscar, 12, Billie 10, and twins Tom and Darcy, eight—with retired footy player husband Chris Judd, received a stern note from Darcy’s teacher when he used his birthday present during school hours.
Mobile phones are now effectively banned in public schools across Australia, with high schools following suit of primary schools last October.
The Melbourne businesswoman and TV personality shared several screenshots of the messages she received from Darcy during school hours.
‘Love you love. Poo poo poo,’ she’d texted him.
‘Darcy got an Apple Watch for his birthday and today he got an eSIM,’ Bec captioned the first screenshot she shared.
‘He easily cracked the “school time” code and has been texting and calling me allllll day. Sorry to his teacher.’
The last sentence took on a sarcastic tone when paired with an emoji of the see-no-evil monkey.

In the next screenshot, Darcy had texted his mother a series of cat GIFs.
‘And he’s discovered GIFs,’ Bec proudly shared.
‘Do I have to go to cricket training?’ Darcy texted her in the third screenshot.

‘There is too much gastro going around.’
Then: ‘Can I have a cookie when I get home?’
‘Who’s got gastro?’ the mother-of-four responded. ‘Stay away from them.’
‘P.S Why are you on your Apple Watch in school time?’
Her son responded with a GIF of a dancing cartoon chicken.
The AFL WAG questioned why her son had called her ‘Mommy’ using the Americanised version of mum or mummy
‘What’s my password to call people?’ he texted her to ask.
‘What is my phone number? Mommy, can you pick up?’
Rebecca circled the Americanised shorthand for mother on the screenshot and repeated it in her caption with a confused emoji.
She then revealed she had received a stern note from his Year 3 teacher.
‘Hello Bec,’ the note began. ‘Just a quick note to let you know that I have spoken to Darcy and his friend about calling emergency services,’ the teacher wrote in her email.
‘Luckily it was 911 and not 000.’
Darcy had called the emergency services number used in the United States, and commonly mentioned in kids’ TV shows, rather than the Australian triple zero.
His teacher didn’t mince words as she signed off her email: ‘I’m sure he understands the seriousness of this game.’
Rebecca responded with a laugh-crying emoji in her caption and confirmed she wouldn’t send her son to school with his hi-tech watch the next day.
Prices for an Apple Watch series 10 start from $649 for aluminum models and from $ 1,199 for titanium.
Darcy and his twin brother celebrated their eight birthday three weeks ago.
Bec, who lives in the affluent suburb of Brighton with her husband and their four children, has become known for being vocal on the issue in Melbourne, and particularly in the Bayside area where she lives.
In June, she slammed the city as ‘woke, broke, and violent.’
Rebecca has been both praised for using her platform — largely on Instagram where she has 756K followers — to bring attention to the issue of crime in her neighbourhood.
