count me in the strict category. 
Granted my son is only 5, but I do not plan on him having a cell phone until he's 14 and can pay for it himself.
Facebook, twitter.... nope. not happening. Not even at 14. Nothing good comes of FB (and yes I have it), especially at 14 or 15. IMO.
I used to say this but then learned that a lot of 6th graders are either home alone or walking home alone and parents feel safer with their child having a basic cell phone. It's true you never know until you are there.....
thats why i said "granted my son is only 5"...
side note: really 6th graders home alone? isn't that a big young?
I used to come home by myself in 6th grade. Both my parents worked. I remember a few kids that did. They used the term "latch key kids" for it at the time. (This was in the 80s.)
