safety for kids since a cell phone can be used to determine the whereabouts of kids and the kids can also call the parents in case of emergency when they need help.

kaylyn kilmain on 09 Feb 11a good pro for having a cell phone at a young age is to make sure were ever they are, they are safe.

Nowadays with the increasing number of threats at schools, it is obvious for parents to be worried about their child’s safety

s for the cons of cell phones, there are many. First and foremost, the parents have to be really sure whether their child is capable of handling the responsibility of carrying a mobile phone. Having a cell phone might lead the child to all the probable ways in which the cell phone can be misused. It is one thing to make the children comfortable with technology but giving them their very own mobile phone at an early age might turn them into mobile junkies who are addicted to their mobile phones with constant short messaging, cell phone games and other add-ons. Also think of it from the health point of view. In a world where we hear reports about excessive use of mobile phones being harmful for the health, how could we possibly allow the children to be exposed to these threats?

I can see why parents would be hesititant to get their kids a cell phone, but i think it is useful for kids to get one because if they were every need a situation when they needed to get in contact with their parents they will have it.

I feel that most kids who do have a cellphone still barely keep in contact with there parents, or ignore texts/calls from them. I actually know teenagers that do this exactly, which totally defeats the purpose of there parents buying them the cell phone i the first place.

wever even if the cell phones are provided with the safety interests in mind, the kids will soon start demanding the higher range and fancy cell phones that would be next in line. Providing expensive mobile phone to kids would actually attract muggers and threaten your child’s security instead of safeguarding it

This is funny because of how crazy the technology has become now. But ironic in the way that it relates to how you can track other peoples feeds, this is much like that for a parent to be tracking their child's location.

cellular divices have become a nescesity to everyday life ESPECAILY for adolecence's. [my spelling in general may probly be way off...] but it gets to the point of a "need" rather than a "want" to the point where a teen can hardly go an hour let alone 5 minutes without sending a text message.

Cell phone is a great technology, just like the feed, a new way to communicate with other people, in feed, people can connect to each other, similar to the Cell phone
-
this is a good example of how everyone is dependent on cell phones especially now that they are giving them out to younger kids
-
i do agree with this, this is so a good reason why kids should have cell phones for a good reason.
