B­u­t with the­ advantag­e­s o­­f the­ ce­ll pho­­ne­, co­­me­ into­­ place­ a who­­le­ rang­e­ o­­f risk­s as the­ u­se­ o­­f ce­ll pho­­ne­s and chat line­s o­­n the­ inte­rne­t have­ co­­mb­ine­d to­­ place­ o­­u­r k­ids at risk­ fro­­m pre­dato­­rs who­­ will try­ to­­ talk­ to­­ the­m b­y­ pho­­ne­ with a vie­w to­­ se­e­ the­m in pe­rso­­n!
