Actually, if I recall correctly, any account created by a less-than-13 is legally the problem of the minor, considering that the Terms of Service is the equivalent of a legal contract. It's quite blatantly spelled out that you may not create an account unless you're over 13. Also, the whole IP range is not blocked for the very reason that legitimate users end up being blocked as well, plus there would be no need for a range block anyway. Attempting to edit anonymously will not block your IP, it simply does not allow you to edit until you log it. As an admin on a number wikis, I have yet to see anything of the like.
