The Internet is a bad place.
And the only reason its bad is because of the people that use it.
Alright, so rip a page out of Neopets. They have you sign up by age. If your folks want to let you onto the more interactive parts of the site (like the message boards and what not), you print off a permission form from the site, have them sign it, and fax or mail it in. Then they know for fact that your folks said it's alright for you to get on that particular web site.

Is it a hassle? Yes. Is it feasible? Yes. Would I let my kids join a site requiring that sort of disclaimer? Well, ask me when I have 'em.
