Teach the children that not everyone is their friend. Teach the children to be paranoid. But making an act criminal simply because the individual they're collecting data from is one day away from their 13th birthday is insane. It's not the collecting that's the problem, it's what they do with it afterwards. If we do this, then we should also pass a law that says poll-takers in the mall need a parent's permission before they can ask a child questions.
Education creates adults.
This is simply another instance of the government trying to coddle the children, and all it'll end up doing is making each and every American that much weaker. It's judging someone based on what they may or may not do in the future. Thus, it's judging their thoughts. I think it's horrible the way children are taken advantage of on the Internet. But criminalizing data collection isn't the way to solve the problem.
