Help!: How a website collecting children’s information verifies a parental consent e-mail is really sent by parent?

Rainy:The pictures have nothing to do with the content!!
Acording to “The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998″ a commercial website requires “verifiable parental consent” before collecting information like e-mail addresses from children. For the internal use of the website, this means getting an e-mail from the parent. The question is how an e-mail can be verified that is realy sent by the parents.
The following is the answer:
Answer by Brighter
Usually a website will say “Enter your parent/guardian’s email address here” and once that form is submitted, an email is sent to that email address. That email asks for confirmation.
But there really is no way of assuring a child enter their parents email, or another one of their own.
Answer by derrickisonline
There is no real way to verify. This is one of the BS rules/laws that help but not really. Basically if the website can prove they made a reasonable effort to ensure….
“verifiable parental consent” before collecting information like e-mail addresses from children. For the internal use of the website, this means getting an e-mail from the parent. The question is how an e-mail can be verified that is realy sent by the parents.”
then they are in the clear.

They really can’t, they just assume that since that e-mail address is registered to a legal adult that that adult is the child’s parent. My kid’s snuck into my mail and sent their own parental consent until I changed the password.
Answer by ian
Firstly this is a US law, and as such any non US websites are not obliged to comply.
Secondly I would not personally consider emails as verifiable parental consent. If the act allows this then I think whoever wrote it needs a slap on the bonce.

Augusta, GA (PRWEB) November 2, 2005
Eric Brown the founder of the “African American Shopping Today” website located at, www.brownhorizonsshopping.com , which is widely considered one of the most popular African American shopping websites on the internet today, recently announced the addition of several new Black hair styles and Black hair care merchants to the website’s “Online Shopping Directory.”
Mr. Brown provided these comments recently concerning his African American Shopping Portal — “African American Shopping Today.”
“I initially created the “African American Shopping Today” website in February 2005 because I did not see another shopping website for African Americans on the internet that was receiving national exposure, where African Americans could go to shop and find access to a variety of merchants located on one website, that sold African American related merchandise and/or items of interest to African Americans.
I am excited to see the growing popularity of the “African American Shopping Today” website because that means that people are finding the website on the Internet and consider it a good source for African American shopping.
Also, I am pleased to see that African American merchants are advertising on the website because the website was designed to bring African American consumers and merchants selling African American related merchandise together on the Internet. Without merchants advertising on the website, meeting this goal would not be possible.
The increasing popularity of the “African American Shopping Today” website demonstrates that the African American shopping niche market on the Internet is very strong.
I am happy to be able to provide a website for consumers interested in African American shopping.
Moreover, I am happy to have the opportunity to provide an advertising medium for merchants large and small who sell African American related products and/or items of interest to African Americans.
A shopping website where merchants can showcase their products to thousands of African American shoppers on a daily bases.”
Individuals and/or businesses interested in purchasing or selling African American related merchandise can visit the “African American Shopping Today” website at http://www.brownhorizonsshopping.com .
