Also, I talked about modifying the birth date... But I Could EASILY make a completely bogus ID card of any girl with a photo (facing the camera, white background)...(but even the background color could be modified....)
And of course, is there something easier to fake then a photocopy of a model release....
So the bottom line is... model IDs , release... not worth much... Trust in your content provider is everything... and if he goes out of business... I would suggest to take off questionable photos of your site.... 
But by the way.... If I buy a stolen car.... without knowing it... will I be accused of theft...? Nope.... they will seize my car.... but no criminal charge will be brought against me....
If I have absolutely no way of knowing whether that girl is 17 or 18.... because IDs can be falsified.... why would I suddenly be considered a criminal....???

You raise some very valid points and I agree with all of them.
The answer to your last question is coveed in the other thread. You are not responsible and would not be considered a criminal under current law....However....As you also mention...If you question her age, take it down.
Also, if you provider is in the US then I would go after him. If he closes his doors that is fine but he still needs to maintain his records for 5 years.
