17 per cent more kids own phones in 2009 over 2006, reveals the latest study by

experts believe that while few parents can say a 'no' to the phones, they may
anyway buy it if the machine is cute enough and like a toy.
Many of the
new phones are expected to allow parents to keep track on the numbers that can
be dialed or even stop text messaging and some will come with a GPS tracker. |
