In the California law the verification is just assuming the person who bought the device is an adult.

This creates a grey zone where a 16yo could buy their own device and set themselves as an adult but grey zones like this aren't really a bad thing.

There's also no penalty for lying. If an adult wants a child to have an adult account, they can.
