Cellphones and safety of children
25 July 2008, by Shashikiran
My 9 year old daughter has been gently persuading me to get her a cellphone. Some of her classmates at school already have one.
While a cellphone may be invaluable during an emergency, the risk that it may expose children to is a very important consideration. Health risk consideration is foremost and then the risk of cyberbullying. While the latter can be avoided by keeping the phone number private and strictly for family use, exposure to high level electromagnetic field due to cellphone use has to be handled carefully.
