This implementation assumes that the default validation only
* validates for dates 13 years or older.
*
* @param string $reference The date to refer to.

public function __construct($reference="-13 years")
{
$this->_referenceAge = strtotime($reference);
}
/**
* Validates that the given date is earlier or equal than the
* reference age
*
* @param string $date An strtotime capable string
*
* @return bool true if valid, false otherwise

public function validate($date)
{
$val = strtotime($date);
