Harry, as 452 said, Wikia is not responsible if users lie. Our sign up page requires you to be 13. If someone sets a date of birth that makes them 12 or under, the system won't let them register. We can only go by what they tell us at sign up. If we later find out that a user lied, then that's when we would close the account because we would be required to do so to comply with COPPA.
