Packed with humor and heart, JumpStart is a modern comic strip with a classic feel. At the core of the JumpStart family is Joe Cobb, a big-city cop, and his wife, Marcy, a nurse in a bustling Philadelphia hospital. Their jobs are easy compared to the challenge of raising four kids. At the end of the day, Joe and Marcy want what we all want: a good night's sleep. Their oldest, Sunny, is an avid reader who can answer your questions before you have time to do a Google search. Her brother, Jojo (aka Joseph Cobb, Jr.), has aspirations of being president. In fact, he already is president — of his second-grade class. Joe and Marcy's newest surprise additions are the twins, Tommi and Teddy. This talkative pair began conversing in the womb and are still going strong. Imagine what they'll say when they actually learn to speak! Rounding out the cast is Crunchy, a grouchy but warm-hearted police officer who is Joe's partner, and a host of extended family members and friends. You'll enjoy the wit and wisdom of this colorful, unpredictable cast, which includes the antics of in-laws, co-workers, a 6-year-old doctor, and a texting dog named Snoog-A-Boo.

Actually, according to my niece and nephew, the minimum age on Facebook is 13.

The minimum age for having an account on a Website in general is 13, because of COPPA. Sites targeted at kids younger than that take measures to make sure the parent is the account holder.

@Jeff Kingsley
That is the minimum, but many kids younger than that have account because all they have to do is lie about their age.

My son has one and he is not 13. He likes to play zynga games. Why not? 13 just like 18 is an arbitrary number that some government agency pulled out of…well you know where.

My stepson has one..he is not 13 yet, he had to write a paper about the expectations and rules of facebook. Both parents have his password and he not permitted friendship with anyone we do not know. It seems to work with him he just likes the games.
