I don't actually think he has to do that. he can legally sign anything he wants after the age of 13 AFAIK
Our contracts are simply understandings that allow the parties in the contract to know what is expected and to acknowledge the promise.
As such, it matters very little to us about the "legally binding" part. We want everyone to be happy doing what they are expected to do, not surprised or forced to do something they may not want to do.
Working with children is ok as long as everyone involved recognizes that the child's parents are who we see as the responsible party not the child.
We expect children to be children until that point when they think like adults. At the point of 13 when a natural child is expected to become a natural adult if s/he was raised in such a way that s/he is prepared for adulthood s/he will likely trust his/her parents to make the right "legal" decisions for him/her. In the very rare occasions in which the child can think like a responsible adult but does not trust his/her parents to make sound decision in his/her best interest is not something we want to be involved with.

Exactly.
1.
I don't need my parent's permission to work with anyone on Bitcointalk, they back me 100% on every development project.
2. My parents don't manage my money. I've transacted around 100BTC to this day.
All in all, I feel I'd be a great asset and I could build a capable web dev team if you're still interested.
Posted from Bitcointa.lk - #jdvJe4nDOqfSkPiNIt may be true that 'you don't need your parent's permission to do things', but we need your parent's permission for you to do things for us.
You are clearly very intelligent and you recognize the you are "underage", that fact should mean something to every responsible adult.
Please take no offense.
Dealing with anybody on this board is a risk and the adults on this board can be worse about flaking out of things than a teenager with a good idea who just needs to get the development team on board. Give him a chance and he (or she) might actually be able to do something with his.
I agree with you 100%, however I'm not his father, I trust that his parents will do what is best for him even if it means no deal.
If his parents feel he is putting too much of his time and energy into 'this bitcoin thing' that's their decision as parents to make, we don't know what info they have to based their decisions on or their critical thinking process, but we do know that they are ultimately responsible for his care; I trust that they will do what is best for him regardless of how he views their decision.
