What are reasonable steps to ascertain the age of the person?

In respect of the offence of child internet luring (s. 172.1(1)(c)), s. 172.1(4) of the Code provided in material part as follows:

It is not a defence to a charge [of internet luring under s. 172.1(1)(c)] that the accused believed that the person ... was at least ... fourteen years of age ... unless the accused took reasonable steps to ascertain the age of the person.  

What does that mean? Today's decision in R. v. Dragos, 2012 ONCA 538 holds:

[35]       In my view, s. 172.1(4) requires an accused who claims mistake of age to have exercised a degree of care in ascertaining a complainant's age that a reasonable person in the circumstances would have exercised.  I say this for the following reasons.

  6. I thinκ еverything published was very logical.
    However, think about this, supρose you were to cгeate a killеr title?
    I mean, I ԁon't want to tell you how to run your website, however suppose you added a title to maybe grab folk's
    attention? Ӏ mean "What are reasonable steps to ascertain the age of the person?"
    is а lіttle vanilla. Yοu coulԁ look at Yahoο's front page and watch how they create article headlines to get people to click. You might try adding a video or a pic or two to grab people interested about what you've written.
    Just my opinion, it woulԁ makе youг blog a little bit moгe interesting.
