   The trouble is that children lie about their age for on-line services,   
   and parents usually don't monitor what they are doing... at least, they   
   don't monitor them well enough.  I have first hand experience; now at 27   
   years old, I'm well aware of what myself, siblings and peers did on-line   
   from circa 2005-2012 (10 to 17 years old).
