Wrong. Today’s topic: How young is too young or, perhaps more accurately, how old is old enough? We’ve received hundreds of emails and text messages about the right age for a child to have a mobile phone, stay home alone, wear make-up, get their ears pierced, babysit for younger kids ... and we’ve got our first caller, Vince.

Then, last week, I got a bill for over two hundred pounds, so I warned her I’d take the phone away from her if it happened again. РP: So I gather your point is whether she’s too young to have a mobile? РV: Yeah, yeah, that’s right.РP: Er, surely it’s the parents’ responsibility to set some sort of guidelines ahead of time.
