TL;DR don't make everyone prove they're an adult (and thus who they are). Put the kids into the daycare if that's what you want the law to be.

Don't let the kids wander Las Vegas / the adult section of town (the Internet) unsupervised?

Or even better:

Have any website that's intended for children make a Legal Claim that they are rated Child Safe / Friendly so they fall under Advertising Law coverage and/or soliciting a minor.

Then have user agents (browsers) used by children configured to limit them to those places. Or even pay for a special VPN that limits access to those places.

The last option is the only correct one. A simple HTTP header would do the trick.
