When the kid created his Gmail account he must have lied about his birthday (or they wouldn't have let him signup).

No. When the kid was identified as being from the Netherlands, they didn't bother asking his age because he doesn't live in a country where it is a legal issue.

Then they asked him for Google+, and once they discovered his age they banned him due to the US law.
