A Colorado group is looking to curb the sales of cellphones to children under 13 years old and officials in the state have cleared the language for a proposed ballot measure. Parents Against Underage Smartphones, the backers of the move, would now need about 300,000 voter signatures for the legislation to make the 2018 ballot. Farnum said he was inspired to make the push after watching his own kids struggle with the psychological effects of always having a device in hand. "They would get the phone and lock themselves in their room and change who they were," he said. "Ultimately, this comes down to parents ... making sure their kids are not putting themselves at risk."
