But it's there. And like any child, her thinner skull, growing brain and developing nervous system make her more vulnerable than adults to the interaction of wireless signals with the body. The potential long-term impact of that interaction remains a scientific mystery that may not be answered for decades. It's an uncertainty that isn't stopping some wireless companies in North America from aggressively targeting children with an array of cartoonish phones featuring the images of Barbie and Mickey Mouse or video clips of Bugs Bunny."
