User blog comment:Wikian13000/Its illegal to be on here under 13?!?!?!?/@comment-1154266-20101027114832

I suspect that Wikia would rather loose a few contributors (no off-topic comments about the new skin please) who are under 13 than face legal action for not complying with COPPA.

The opinion that "[...]all the parents need to do is teach there[sic] kids." is irrelevant, it's the law.
