Unfortunately, the parental consent does have to be something we verify before we could accept. It's not feasible for Wikia to staff an entire team dedicated to following up on parent notification, which is what we would have to do. Although the COPPA updates do expand the ways to collect parental consent, it's still not a workable option.
