The new study, carried out by mobileinsurance.co.uk, found that almost 60% of British parents failed to keep an eye on their children using a phone, with one in four admitting it was to respect their child's privacy.
42% said they never got around to checking, while 13% claimed they trusted their child with the phone.
More than 2,000 parents of children aged 10 or younger were surveyed and it was revealed that almost 80% of parents whose child has a phone with a lock or pass-code, would not know how to access their infant's device.
The company behind the survey urged parents to ensure their child's access to online content was suitably restricted.
Website Director, Jason Brockman, said parents should monitor the phone usage to keep their children safe.
He said parents need to do more to ensure their kids "aren't talking to strangers or being bullied" via their smartphones.
"It's not a case of invading their privacy, but it should be seen as a way of keeping them safe.
"Parents should make sure that, if their children have access to the internet on their phones, adult content and websites are restricted, and it's also important to make sure they aren't talking to strangers or being bullied," he added.
