In a report out of Sweden , researchers have discovered that when children under age 20 use cellular phones, their chances of getting brain cancer increase by 5 fold! The reason that children are more likely to develop brain cancer than adults is because their skulls are thinner and their brains are not fully formed which allows the mobile phone's radiation to penetrate deeper into brain tissue.
Researchers are worried that because 40% of gradeschool children in Britain have their own mobile phones and 9 out of 10 teenagers use one of the devices regularly, an epidemic of brain cancer could present itself to this generation in a few years. Authorities are being urged to require that children under 12 years of age only use mobile phones in an emergency situation.
Moral of the story: Children under age 12 do not need mobile phones, but if they must have them, usage should be limited to emergency only and texting.
