Have a cell phone? if it's prepaid or can't roam, I'd say about 10-no biggie 2 me. but they would have to earn the phone.

Use a computer? birth- but no internet without a adult in the same room for a long time- probably until 18- too easy for predators to come to them in ways that seem safe. forget the parental controls- big joke, I know guys that are testers- broke through in less than 10 steps in many of them.
