Is it safe to give children cell phones? I have seen parents giving toddlers old cell phones to play with and it seems dangerous.

Dale … that is a great question and it is important for parents to understand their old cell phone is not an appropriate toy for their young child. Several European nations have stated that children’s exposure to cell phones should be limited due to the possible dangers of electro-magnetic radiation. In addition … cell phones and their batteries are made of various materials that are not likely to be child-friendly. Most importantly though … the buttons could come off and become lodged in a small child’s throat. If you have small child ... don’t let them play with your cell phone … there are just too many dangers.
