In light of Toronto's recommendation that children minimize their cellphone usage, many individuals and organizations have struck back, arguing that since the science on the matter is inconclusive, we should just assume it's safe.
Even Health Canada has stated that there is no scientific evidence against that. Should our national health agency not be taking a more precautionary and preventative stance on the issue? Should we not wait until cell phones are declared safe to use before we allow our children to use them extensively?
If it is true that cell phones are harmless for kids, then so be it. However, if we find out in a few years that this is not the case, we may have exposed thousands of children to irreparable damage and harm. The risk just isn't worth it.
