What's the Right Age for a Child to Get a Smartphone?

As more children get phones at 10 and younger, parents face the question of when to allow unfettered access to the internet and all its benefits and perils.
***** Moderator's Note *****This story has a twofer: forced choices on two key issues. The question of whether children *should* get a cell phone, "smart" or otherwise, isn't even mentioned, let alone explained.
Then, we are asked to assume that children will be endowed with Internet access at the age of "10 and younger", and the story implies that parents aren't capable of deciding if access to the big, bad Internet is OK.
