mobile phones and 8 year olds

[phones]

my 8 year old son has been given a mobile phone from a relative as a present. i have heard and read about radiation from mobile phones and the harmful effects on children's brains. I also think that 8, is too young for a phone. what do you think? I think also, that it may also be intended for my 3 year old to use aswell. how would you feel and what would you do?

So, you took monitoring equipment into the school; what equipment was this exactly? A Geiger counter, perhaps?!? A colander attached by coat hangers to an old wireless - perhaps borrowed from the "therapist"?!? Then said "therapist" sent blood to Germany for "analysis", and sold you a ton of supplements and medicine.

In essence either you've been had, SafetyFirst or you're trying to pull a fast one on us...

An 8 year old is way to young for a mobile phone. I would explain to your relative that you don't want him to have a phone and say would they minmd taking it back.

My brother had a brain tumour. Don't know if this was actually caussed by mobilr phone use. But a child's skull does not fully develop until they are 16 ( by that I mean it is still thin) and that is why many proffesional health people don't recomend a phone for under 16.s. None of mine had them before that age.
