I've listened to this on the radio. jeremy vine I think. What do you think, should it be banned? regulated perhaps, or just left on open market for all to buy.

A gadget that disperses teenage gangs with high-pitched noise should be banned, according to human rights campaigners.
The Mosquito exploits young people's ability to hear very high frequencies, a power which declines once they reach their 20s.
An estimated 3,500 devices are in use in England to deter children from loitering in areas like parks, shopping centres and around shops.
Children's Commissioner Sir Albert Aynsley-Green has launched a campaign calling for a ban on grounds that the Mosquito infringes the rights of young people.
