Well it should be your responsibility to control what your children see online, on the web there are things fare worse than the one you can see on YouTube.

I don't see why YouTube should ask your ID where most sites that host adult content doesn't.

The 100% adult content sites get blocked by school proxies or sometimes even ISPs. Because youtube is mixed content it has to implement access control on the site.
