Age Verification - Core ObjectivesTo deter kids from acting older than
they are
To deter adult predators from acting younger than they are
Case 1Child Registers with
Correct Age
Case 2Child Attempts to Register
with Bogus Details
Case 3Predator Registers with
Correct Details
Case 4Predator Impersonates a
Child & Adult
Age Verification – How It WorksCase #1: Child Attempts to Register with Correct Details
1. Child attempts to register.
2. Site prompts for permission from a verifiable adult.
3. Adult’s identity is verified for valid age and sex offender status.
4. Access granted.
5. Adult is sent a post card or automated phone call made to the residence.
Age Verification – How It Works
Case #2: Child Attempts to Register with Bogus Details
• Child attempts to register with fabricated or ‘borrowed’ credentials.
2. Access denied, or, if parent’s ID is used, access is temporarily granted.
3. Parent receives automated phone call or postcard alerting them to ‘their’ registration at the site.
4. Parent suspends access. Child is ‘grounded’.
Age Verification – How It Works
Case #3: Predator Tries to Register with Correct Details
1. Sexual predator attempts to register.
2. Identity is scrubbed against registered sex offender database.
3. Access denied or
restricted.
Age Verification - How It WorksCase 4: Predator Impersonates a Child & Adult
1.Sexual predator registers as a child, and impersonates an adult who is giving permission for that fictitious child to register.
2.Predator is denied access if the adult is fictitious, OR
3.Predator gains temporary access until the real adult gets the postcard or phone call.
4.Site suspends predator’s access & alerts those he contacted to the danger.
