I was listening to this story on the radio while I was on my travels yesterday. What really got me was the fact that, while I agree with the principle of kids having mobiles from a safety point of view, very few ever seem to have the things away from the ear - onbe lad they spoke to said that he had a contract phone with a bill of around 100 quid a month

. Now, ignoring the fact that, if any child of mine came to me with a bill of that much, I'd go mad, how can that be justified, even with the 'security' message.

More to the point, I nearly crashed the car when I heard about the phone that had been developed to be marketed directly at 4 to 8 year olds - how that can be justified, I just don't know.
