Best Answer

Your child must be at least 13 years old to register for an account on Facebook.

According to the Facebook Privacy Policy page:

"No information from children under age 13. If you are under age 13, please do not attempt to register for Facebook or provide any personal information about yourself to us. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible."

This is due to the US Federal Trade Commission's Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) which basically says that any web site operator collecting personal information from children under the age of 13 must have verifiable parental permission. Some web sites, such as Facebook, have chosen to disallow underage children from using their services due to all that is involved in gaining that parental permission plus the fact that their web site is not directed at children under the age of 13.

How do you set the parental rights on facebook.com?

Facebook allows you to privatize everything that can be viewed in your profile by other users. These settings can be found under the account and privacy settings on each Facebook account. This is the best way for parents to control who sees their child's Facebook account. There isn't any way, however, to stop a child from changing these settings themselves.
