i was actually implying that if you asked and found out they were 12, you've just broken the law. the only problem (as i see it) is there's no way for you to collect the age information *without* possibly breaking the law.
Simple, really. Just send an email to every single parent in the world with a breakdown of what you're doing, and ask for prior written consent before launching your site, and if they refuse, demand that they return a signed disclaimer.
