  The brackets are a few years wide, so it could take a bit of waiting. But yeah I’d consider setting a slightly different day/month for a child if I was paranoid. I guess you could also make the bracket selectable instead of requiring the age

        Also, various sites were already legally required to gather this information anyway to know if someone is over or under 13.
