Moreover, as one parent interviewed said:

“Kids don’t know the difference between a genuine website and a website that isn’t genuine. If all websites have facial verifications [sic] and they go on a website that is not genuine, their face and their documents could be used to do illegal stuff.”

I personally wouldn't limit that to children; adults are pretty easy to fool.

Heck, most parents would probably just give their ID to their kid, no questions asked.
Especially if the kid screams and complains.
