This and every Monday, the Bweinh!tributors, having convened in secret for hours of reasoned debate and consideration, will issue a brief and binding ruling on an issue of great societal import.
This week’s question — When should a child get a cell phone?
Chloe delivers the ruling of the Council, joined by Connie, Steve and Tom:
When he or she can pay for it.
Mike offers this opinion, joined by MC-B and Connie:
Eighteen.
Job offers this opinion, joined by David:
Children should be allowed to have them by 14 (as a service to parents) with plans that don’t allow texting before 16.
Steve offers this opinion, joined by Josh:
The same time they can drive.
David offers this opinion, joined by Djere:
The third trimester.
Next week: What is the most useful tool?

Our kids have had cell phones for as long as I can remember and I actually think the younger the better. If they are in a bad situation I like knowing that they can hit a button and talk to a parent immediately.
Third trimester?
Pshaw—I go second, every time.

Call me old fashioned, but I don`t think a fetus should operate a cell phone until its eyes are fully developed…
They don’t need eyes unless they have text messaging too. Which I think should be withheld until they are older.
The same time as they can drive, but not at the same time they are driving. At least not here in NY.
