65-percent of tweens are on a family plan, which means that 35-percent have their own cell phone plans. Is it just us or is that a little much?

Unless it's under the parent's name, kids cannot have their own plan under contract. Most likely the percentage that is left out are using Pre-paid mobile phones. They require no contract, but the parent can easily control it by restricting how many minute cards they buy the child.

I see no problem with this and the Firefly phones that can only call a small amount of phone numbers the parents program into the phone. Kids that young should only need the phone for emergencies anyway.
