Just an another HTTP header, flagging if user is an adult. Set it to False if OS reports that the account used has parental controls enabled.

This is just meant to keep children out, not protect state secrets.

HTTP headers can be faked. Easily.

That will keep children out for about 12 seconds.

Maybe, but if their parents failed to enable parental controls or the kids hack them, they shouldn't be allowed to blame the websites.

There's already plenty of options available to parents - legislators must be made to stop blaming websites when parents don't use those tools available to them.
