How young is too young for a mobile cell phone?

I totally disagree ! I think children should be trusted with a phone as soon as they show a sense of responsibility ! I have raised 9 children, and helping raise 23 grandkids, and all the ones that have phones, show a very good sense of responsibility, as far as the use of the phone goes ! And this pertains not only to cell phones but everything else also; autos, money, ! I can tell right away, who is responsible and who is not !

I was given my 1st phone when I was 15 so I agree with you.

I really don't know, but I see kids nine and under.

Welcome to myLot and go through the guidelines, atleast give a detailed post.Otherwise children should be allowed to have their own cellphones when they can pay for it
