My kids are only 2 and 3 but I see kids that are 6 with cell phones now. What happened to the days when parents trusted there kids to be where they say they are going to be? I remeber when I was a kid my mom would just come and find me and most of the time I was were I told her I would be. I got a cell phone when I was like 16 have things really changed that much that people need to give little kids cell phones? Why do kids that young need a cell phone who are they going to call? How old would you give your child and cell phone?

yes bro time is totally change.The child whose age is 8-9 year he have Cell phones.I think parents never watch that what his/her child doing.when child want anything then the parents give him money even they don't ask what he have to do with this money? so bro time is totally change and we should also have to change accordingly time.

WELCOME TO MYLOT!!! We have turned into a society fueled by fear!!! I can see NO reason to give a 5 year old a cell phone!!!My niece is 13 & she has one. ALL it has accomplished is that she can NO longer communicate with the "real world"!!! In the middle of a conversation, her phone bings & she immediately stops to respond to her friend who was saying NOTHING of consequence & ignores the person talking to her face!!! She NO longer knows how to talk on a phone as she just HAS to text!!! I was 45 before I got my first one & I still think I was too young for it!!!!
