please don't give your kids cell phones...

...or if you do, please tell them to keep them turned off unless they need them for an emergency.  more scary information has come out about the damaging effects of cell phones.

please read more here.  here is an excerpt:

"sadly children and teens are at an even higher risk [than adults], as their thinner skull bones allow for greater penetration of cell phone radiation.  the radiation can enter all the way into their midbrain, where tumors are more deadly.  in addition, children's cells reproduce more quickly, so they're more susceptible to aggressive cell growth.  their immune systems are also not as well developed as adults.  lastly, children face a far greater lifetime exposure."

try to minimize your own cell phone use around your kids (and yourself!!).
