If this is the reason you want a cell phone, your efforts are misplaced. Most of these sort of sex offenders are parents, relatives, or friends of the family. Those are the people your kid would need to record.

You would be more likely to protect your child by making him wear a helmet along with his seatbelt or feeding him food that doesn't suck.
