Generally, a person must be at least 16-years old to consent to sex in Minnesota. The only certainty is that no one under 13 years old can consent to sex. For those between the ages of 13 and 18, valid consent depends on the age difference and/or relationship between the parties.

A cell phone gives your child a way to be more responsible and let you know if theyre going to be late. Cell phones are also important for teenagers, who could find themselves at a party without a sober ride home and need to call you to pick them up. Cell phones arent cheap.
