Incorporate a retina scan with w3t? Finger printing? Require a drivers liscence and tie-in with every DMV in the country? Or, more realistically, require a credit card to use it? That would leave me out.
I raise the issue of a child being able to get in by clicking the back button on a browser and changing a check box and you reply with this? I don't see the relevance.
In reply to:
If a minor, under 13, checks that box he/she is commiting fraud.....I'd say that's pretty defensible on the part of the site owner.
According to the quote from my first post, that is apparently not defensible. That's why I brought it up.

So what are you gonna do BillD?
Well, when someone checks off "no" for whether or not they are at least 13 W3T could send a cookie to their computer saying "I'm under 13" (actually, it should probably be more subtle in case they have their browser set to allow them to view cookies before accepting them). Then if they try to change from "no" to "yes" and resubmit, the cookie could be detected and the submission rejected. The cookie should expire fairly quickly (say a few hours) in case multiple people use the same computer. Of course this won't work if they have cookies turned off but then neither will logging in.
