Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children
be discouraged from using cell phones at all. For example, The Stewart Report from
the United Kingdom made such a recommendation in December 2000. In this
report, a group of independent experts noted that no evidence exists that using a
cell phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit
cell phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific
evidence that any health hazard exists.
