No need to apologise for that, it's no problem at all! ;)

I certainly see your point, but it seems like you are doubting the meaning of the law itself. To say it again (I also got it wrong at first): The law does not hinder children from editing until they are old enough, they just kind of "block" their IP adresses so nobody can track them back. By creating an account, the IP adress gets hidden, so the information are safe. Nevertheless, you have to be older than 13 to be allowed to be on wikia anyway....
