Cell Phones: How To Buy Your Way Out Of Responsibility For Brain Cancer

U.S. Cellular Donates $20,000 to Local Child Abuse Prevention Agencies
CAPS in Salina and Hope Unlimited in Iola to get grants

A local wireless communication company's donation will benefit a Salina organization that provides services for child victims of sexual or physical abuse.

To help raise awareness during National Child Abuse Prevention Month, U.S. Cellular is donating $5,000 to Child Advocacy and Parenting Services in Salina. Child Advocacy and Parenting Services, or CAPS, provides family mentoring and social work case management services for at-risk families and children.

The company is also donating $15,000 and free wireless phones and service to Hope Unlimited in Iola. The donations will support prevention services and programs that benefit area families in need.

Hey, great! We've got an industry that spends boocoo bucks marketing an unnecessary product to children, which spends lots of money on advertising thus making the corporate media happy, and the corporate media in gratitude keeps largely silent on the cancer many of those cell phone using children will experience as they grow older.

Why do agencies supposedly looking out for children take money from companies that harm children?
