I think we can just say "children under 13 must obtain consent from their parents or legal guardians". We should be fine in terms of COPPA if parents agree with the release of personal information.
Btw, I'm new to the list, so hello everyone!

This looks to me like an effort to define the service so that we do not need to meet the requirements of COPPA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children's_Online_Privacy_Protection_Act). To the extent that meeting those requirements can be costly and we have no known participations under 13, then I think it is probably reasonable to include.regards,Ted
