I consider it a matter of safety nowadays with abductions, rapes and general violent crimes in general on the rise. It would be interesting to see those statistics
.....................................nowadays are no different than the days in the 20s, 30s an on an on............As for abductions,rapes and general violent crimes. The only different from then and now is every one knows about it. Which means doing those crimes back in the days was eazier, in which means was done alot more than now. It just show why we are in the mess we are, want , want , want.]]>Jan 27th 2009 10:41AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/cell-phones-pose-threat-to-child-pedestrians-study-says/http://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/cell-phones-pose-threat-to-child-pedestrians-study-says/Jan 27th 2009 11:00AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/cell-phones-pose-threat-to-child-pedestrians-study-says/http://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/cell-phones-pose-threat-to-child-pedestrians-study-says/Jan 27th 2009 11:17AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/cell-phones-pose-threat-to-child-pedestrians-study-says/http://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/cell-phones-pose-threat-to-child-pedestrians-study-says/1. It is definately a safety hazard of children using cells crossing street...1 month ago, 16 y/o girl died in Palm Beach area w/Mom, Sis and Grampa watching. She was talking on cell going across street to Grampa's car. Sister was screaming frantically while she talked on phone and did not hear her. Got hit by not 1, but 3 cars.

2. If used properly, w/parent controls, they can be an asset to kids.

3. Talking on phones and texting while driving is definately a hazzard...at least for most. Should be mandated to have handsfree if they are going to use cell in car.

I would supect it,s because of the lobbist hired by the phone companies and the contributions funneled to the legslature's.]]>Jan 27th 2009 11:54AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/cell-phones-pose-threat-to-child-pedestrians-study-says/http://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/cell-phones-pose-threat-to-child-pedestrians-study-says/Jan 27th 2009 1:29PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/cell-phones-pose-threat-to-child-pedestrians-study-says/http://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/cell-phones-pose-threat-to-child-pedestrians-study-says/Jan 27th 2009 11:58AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/cell-phones-pose-threat-to-child-pedestrians-study-says/http://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/cell-phones-pose-threat-to-child-pedestrians-study-says/Jan 27th 2009 12:39PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/cell-phones-pose-threat-to-child-pedestrians-study-says/http://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/cell-phones-pose-threat-to-child-pedestrians-study-says/Jan 27th 2009 1:05PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/cell-phones-pose-threat-to-child-pedestrians-study-says/http://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/cell-phones-pose-threat-to-child-pedestrians-study-says/Jan 27th 2009 12:40PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/cell-phones-pose-threat-to-child-pedestrians-study-says/http://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/cell-phones-pose-threat-to-child-pedestrians-study-says/
Kids using cell phones are but a part of the cell phone addiction. Most hazardous are those drivers of all ages who use cell phones, both hand held and hands free, while driving.

We have laws prohibiting such practices, but those laws are seldom, if ever, enforced. ]]>Jan 27th 2009 12:44PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/cell-phones-pose-threat-to-child-pedestrians-study-says/http://www.switched.com/2009/01/26/cell-phones-pose-threat-to-child-pedestrians-study-says/
and why the hell does a 10 year old need a cell phone?... half the fun of being a kid is riding your bike all the way across town to a friends house... just to find out they're not home lol

They walk right out in front of you and they aren't even looking.
