"Fresh fears over mobile phone risk to kids’ health
May 2 2008 by Gregory Tindle, Western Mail

NEW research has triggered fresh fears for the long-term health of children and teenagers who use mobile phones today.

The study warns that the risks are little lower than those alcohol and tobacco pose to youngsters’ health and could also last a lifetime.

It suggests mobile phone use exposes youngsters to the risk of early memory loss and sleep problems, then brain tumours in their 20s followed by the early onset of dementia in their 50s.

Welsh experts claim this latest evidence should force the Government to update and strengthen its warnings on phone use.

why do kids need mobile phones anyway?

Wow, funny how everything today seems to have a negative effect later in life. I dont even want one, it's not like there arent enough phones in my house and Im never going to use it in school. Also, theres an "edit" button, so you didnt have to put the second post, you couldve added it to your first post.

Thanks.
