Teen horror: Parents get cell phone control
Rob Zombie's "Halloween" remake brought in a record-breaking $31 million in its Labor Day weekend debut, but the nightmare may be just beginning for teens across America. AT&T announced today it's launching a service that'll give parents control over when their kids' cell phones can make and receive calls — and to whom — as well as the ability to put restrictions on text messages, conversation length and what can or can't be downloaded. The "Smart Limits" program will cost an extra $5 a month. Disney Mobile and a couple smaller upstarts offer similar parental control services, but AT&T is the nation's largest wireless carrier. Any bets on how long it takes one of these kids to find a hack?
