Jen,
Sounds like those "little boys" might be using internet fake IDs.  Next time 
you suspect a fake check the hologram on the ID.  Like I said before, usually 
these internet IDs use similar holograms.  The IDs themselves are pretty 
impressive because they are almost a perfect match to the real state ID 
they're replicating.  Its pretty frustrating, being a college bar owner, that 
any kid on campus can go on the internet and for $60-$100 get a very good fake 
ID for any state.  I've got dozens & dozens of these internet ones in my 
office.  The holograms can be ovals with the words "genuine", "authentic", 
"security", or similar words.  I've also came across some that have key shaped 
holograms covering the ID.  Real state IDs have very distinctive holograms.  I 
teach my bouncers to look for the holograms 1st, if that's wrong no need to 
look further.  We keep an ID Checking Guide at the door to refer to if we come 
across an ID that we not familiar with.  This is the web site for the guide if 
you're interested  http://www.driverslicenseguide.com

I'll try to find out the names of some of the different ID checking machines.  
I think I've got some literature on them at my bar.

Hope it helps,
Hargman

PS Here's the website for my bar.  Check it out if you're bored sometime
