I agree with you about pre-schoolers having cellphones. (If you are old I must be ancient!) However, I made the decision for my 'tween to have a cellphone because I need my sanity. 1. My son would always miss his curfew to come in the house. No amount of punishment could fix this. Enter cellphone-buddy. I call, and within minutes he's in the house. 2. I can't stand his sperm donor. I do not wish to talk to him ever. When he's feeling like a responsible father, he wants to talk to my son. With cellphone-buddy, he can call him direct. Mom keeps sanity. Everyone is happy.
PS Said cellphone-buddy is the Firefly with parental controls. There will be no constant yakking on this phone!
I'm not sure about the cancer claim, but anything overdone is not good for you. I mean, think about it - cellphones were a convenience - a quick call to wifey from hubby because he forgot the shopping list, overproctive mom wondering where irresponsible teen brat is, calling the tow truck because car won't start. It can't be healthy holding up a phone to ear all day, just like it's not good for anyone to have loud music constantly blasting in his ears (think headsets with volume way up) or eating fast food 3x a day for the rest of your life.
What about those folks running around with the bloo-toof on their ears like erstaz fbi agents? Isn't that thing transmitting something even though one may not be on a call at the time?
