No, I can't imagine how it would hurt them at all, considering that we live in a country where, if you want to live above the poverty line, you have to be able to fluently use both a computer and the internet.
Nor would I imagine that walling them off from the internet would at all affect their ability as adults to discern facts from lies online in the way that many unfortunate older members of our society have been unscrupulously preyed upon.
And, of course, all parents teach their children about sex education and safe sex, which is one of the many reasons why our beloved Texas has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the nation.
I do believe you have perhaps not thought through how incredibly crippling -- a word I do not use lightly -- it would be to completely wall a child off from the internet until they leave home.
