Should kids have cell phones? The question has been debated over by parents the world over. Well, a cancer research institute has warned of the use of cell phones by kids, as the cancer risk is many folds.
Director of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute Dr Ronald B Herberman has said that the cell phone use should be limited because of possible cancer risk, especially when the brain is still developing.
The warning by Dr Herberman has once again raised the question of kids using cell phones and parents have become more cautious of their children using mobiles. A mother of four says that though she did not know if there were any medical risks involved in the use of mobiles by kids, she finds that mobiles were not necessary for kids.
Some parents think that mobiles are a symbol of security for the kids. They feel that they would be able to trace their kids wherever they go. Some parents buy their kids mobiles as they find that their children are only those who are having no mobiles in their class; the mobiles have become status symbols.
With so many studies coming out about the health hazards of cell phone use, the parents are likely to have second thoughts.
