Kids talking over the mobile - fun and exciting but DANGEROUS

Its always fun to listen and look at the young ones talking over the phone but it is found by research that would result dangerous to them.

Mobile phone usage can dramatically increase the risk of cancer in children and young adults. According to a new study by Professor Lennart Hardell from the University Hospital in Orebo Sweden, mobile phone users younger than 20 years old had a five-fold increase in particular types of cancer.


Hardell suspects that the thinner and still developing skulls of the children make them more susceptible to electromagnetic radiation. He recommends children under 12-years-old only use mobile phones in emergencies. Teenagers, according to Hardell, should only use mobile phones with hands-free sets or while text messaging.

With respect to the health of our young ones I am ready to sacrifice the small happiness that I get by listening to their cute pronunciations and words over the mobile phones :(
