I don't know about you, but if I have kids, they're not getting near a cell phone. Found this article today, here's an excerpt of particular interest:
Regarding the question over the effects of mobiles on children, Professor Challis said: "At this stage we have no evidence at all that mobile phones or masts hurt children. But we do know that [regarding] a number of other environmental agents - lead, tobacco smoke, ultraviolet radiation, ionising radiation - children react differently to them and often more severely, than do adults." The professor said that his group's findings did not contradict the advice from Sir William, who, in 2005, urged parents to limit their children's use of mobile phones as a precaution, and advised that under-eights should not use them at all.
Call me paranoid if you wish, but there are just too many unknowns with cell phones. I don't think it's a risk worth taking.
