Children under a certain age are not able to sign valid contracts. Not sure about this jurisdiction (some of those laws in the US are crazy and the article is not mentioning where this is based) But in most civilized countries every lawyer should know that such an argument is silly.

    Even in the US, a lot of TOS/T&Cs are unenforceable. It's harder to get a judge to say it, but there's case law holding a LOT of these as useless - and your point would also almost certainly come up even in a civil suit, let alone a criminal trial.
