This is the same tired excuse that is given every time. Requiring parents to police their kids' Internet usage 24/7 is about as practical or desirable as controlling their location 24/7. At the latest if those kids have their own phones - or simply visit friends, it's not possible anymore.

Oh, so you want the government to police people's kids' internet usage 24/7, inadvertently screwing everyone else over in the process? I'm sure this will end well for the UK, especially the economy.

So, if not the government and not the parents, then who should do it?

No one. Nothing should be done. If parents aren't going to do anything, what's stopping the kid from getting the parents ID when they're not looking? Or better yet, the same parent which verifies the site for the kid just to get them to shut up? It's the same parental group.
