Kids and Cell phones--Not a good combo

Joni Brice - Monday, August 11, 2008
Kids and Cell phones.  Really not a great idea.  I know, I 've got kids too.  It's so wonderful to be able to stay in touch--call me when you get there, call me and let me know when you're coming home, let me talk to her mom,  I'm dropping off the homework you left on the counter . . . etc etc.  BUT, we know the cell phone emits radiation and now we know without a doubt that a child's brain absorbs more of that radiation than an adult brain.  Here's a diagram  posted on CNN. I had to argue with  my girls for years  "USE the speakerphone" and "Where's your headset? Put it on NOW."  But now that the truth is finally coming to  light, they ask me, "Mom, can I give Scott a headset, he really needs one."   Everyone needs one, this comes from CNN: Dr. Ronald Herberman  warned his staff and students to use the cell phone with caution  The university center's director for environmental oncology, Dr. Devra Davis, repeated the warning on CNN the next night."Since cell phones have only been in widespread use for 10 years or so, the long-term effects of their radiation waves on the brain has yet to be determined," she said."Young children particularly need to be careful," she said. "We do not have enough information nor do we have enough time to be sure that cell phones are safe, and there's reason for concern that they may be harmful."Davis's statement sums up the "jury's still out" aspect of this issue. Since cell phones have only been in widespread use for 10 years or so, the long-term effects of their radiation waves on the brain has yet to be determined.
