Validating authorized activities approved by a guardian

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computing device to cause the computing device to:

• receive biometric data scanned from a guardian and biometric data scanned from a ward;
• receive data defining a relationship between the guardian and the ward;
• store the biometric data scanned from the guardian, the biometric data scanned from the ward, and the data defining the relationship in a record in a secure database;
• receive a request for validation including scanned biometric data;
• determine the scanned biometric data matches the record in the secure database;
• and
• transmit data defining an authorization based on the relationship.

A system comprising:

• a processor, a computer readable memory, and a computer readable storage medium;
• program instructions to receive, from a trusted entity device, biometric data scanned from a guardian and biometric data scanned from a ward;
• program instructions to receive, from the trusted entity device, data defining a relationship between the guardian and the ward;
• program instructions to store the biometric data scanned from the guardian, the biometric data scanned from the ward, and the data defining the relationship in a record in a first secure database;
• program instructions to receive, from a computer device other than the trusted entity device, a delegation of authority associated with the relationship between the guardian and the ward;
• program instructions to store data defining the delegation of authority in record in a second secure database linked to the record in the first secure database;
• program instructions to receive, from a validation device, a request for validation including scanned biometric data;
• program instructions to determine the scanned biometric data matches the record in the first secure database;
• and
• program instructions to transmit, to the validation device and in response to the determining, data defining the delegation of authority associated with the relationship,
• wherein the program instructions are stored on the computer readable storage medium for execution by the processor via the computer readable memory.
