Parents want their kids to be safe. Are teenagers safer with a mobile phone or without?
Many parents want their children to have a phone so that they can be in contact at any time or in
any place. On the other hand, for lots of parents a phone is a source of possible danger. Parents
worry that their child may meet the wrong kind of ‘friends’ on social networking sites or that
they might receive cruel messages from school friends. Some parents have rules about their
children’s mobile phone and internet usage; and bad behaviour can result in taking away of
mobile phones.
