What? you mean asking the parent to enter a date of birth before giftin the child a phone and setting it in child mode is like burning things?
Did you really relied to me? Then explain
Seems to me a better idea then government IDs or sending your ID to Facebook.
I could guess why Google did nlot add this feature to Android , they want the money from ads, and maybe Apple wants Google to bhave money to share with them.

How do you want to enforce it? Everyone who grew up as Internet started knows that everyone is over 18 on the Internet. Or did you, as a kid, ever put your real birth date on a form asking for it for purposes of age-walling you?
And if not voluntary, then... it's either companies asking for government-issued IDs on a case-by-case basis, or a larger system, perhaps legally mandated, that forces you to tie your government-issued ID into it so age information is automatically propagated in the background.

Easy
1 make it illegal for children to buy smarthpones, tablets.
2 make the OS vendors to add a parent mode/child control API, when the phone starts first time the parent enters the details
3 inform the buyer that if he is a parent he is responsible for the child not the government, the parent must set the correct birthdate on the device and set the device in child mode , they can decide to trust the child but then the government is not responsible.
4 the browssers on this locked devices will report to the websites if the user is adult or not, they will not report he brithdate just a true /false
5 if a website fails to read the age from the browser and still offers oillegal content to a browser that is marked as minor then the website is repossible and it is fined.
At no point the child is asked to enter his age so there is not similar to current place where you click I am over 18.
If you have children you might have made an account for them to use a smartphone, Did you lied bout their birthdate ? Did you gave them the new phone in a box and let them set it up because you were to busy ?
