You don't need a data plan if you can access wifi. There is public wifi and I don't think most parents even know how to check the devices using their home wifi.

It's not hard, and parents can easily change the WiFi password if they don't know how to check the leases if they suspect something is up.

I'm very much in the camp of no filters and building a relationship on trust, but occasionally verifying if that trust is misplaced.
