Honestly? I say it needs to be 18, what with all of the creepos out there.
Of course, regardless of what it's set to, people are going to lie. Going to sneak on. Granted, this should be the job of the PARENT, to teach their child about the internet - what's OK, what's not OK, what to do in case of x,y,z... and then MONITOR their children and their children's activities.
But parents don't - so what's the point? It's not the government's job to teach kids what is and is not okay. It's not the job of the schools - although they can definitely contribute. It's the parent's job.
Unfortunately, parent has been forgotten - it's not just a noun. It's a verb.
