There are rules that prevent users under the age of thirteen signing up for many sites including Twitter.

Thirteen has been chosen as a fairly arbitrary age when a child is considered to have sufficient intellect to remain safe on social network sites. Most people accept that many children might be ready below that age while others may need several more years to have sufficient judgment to handle internet based relationships.

A mature twelve year old is close to that arbitrary age and Twitter is safe if they do the right things. Twitter is regarded as less of a problem for child safety than some others although that may be due to the lower usage by young teenagers compared to Facebook and other sites. Despite that, young teenagers should always have some parental control in place for on line activities to make sure that their safety is monitored. It is up to the parent or other responsible adults to make sure that teenagers keep safe because they keep doing the right things on line.

Is Twitter a safe site for your child?

Twitter is generally safe, but it ultimately depends on the age and maturity of your child. If you would be comfortable with your child reading and writing letters to respond to a newspaper, then let him/her use twitter. (Remember that it is also possible to "lock" a twitter account so that only approved friends and family can read what your child is writing.)Do note that using twitter has its advantages. For example, writing tweets can help a person become more eloquent.
