Given that when you join you declare that you are over 13, and the site's terms of service explicitly state such an age requirement, I would guess that "her" membership is clearly in violation of that 1998 law.
I agree that it is entirely possible that the poster is not a 10 year old child but actually a rather older person, probably male, who gets a certain kind of gratification, too gross to describe here, from such impersonation. Or else the person is really a 10 year old girl, in which case she runs the risk of providing gratification for such an older person. Either way, mods please note!
