Even sites like facebook and twitter based in the US don't ask for age proof, just state that under 13 are not allowed. That is only because its easier than all the messing about needing parents to agree to them joining.

The usual problem we have with young members is the adults on the site, if you don't like them don't involve yourself in a conversation with them.
I thought that the forum already had a 14 age minimum rule, with parental consent for younger.

I recall that it was used, so I expected there was some sort of age verification system in place.

It seems that there is no such control, nor is it possible.
If I had known that, I would not have made this thread.
