Fazil, if your relatives insist on your turning VoiceOver off, you might consider telling them it can be done, but if for some reason VO cannot be toggled on again, the phone is useless to you. The idea here is to impress on them the risk you and they are taking in using the phone while at the same time not prohibiting them from using it in an extreme situation. Would this kind of scenario allow for no one's feelings to be hurt?
