Personally, I don't find it impossible for them to keep tabs on all the magical children through their lives. The government is actively trying to ensure the identity and possibility of witches and wizards remains a secret to muggles and I don't find it far fetched for them to not have specific people tasked with that job. Like how they have muggle social services. I dont find it silly either for them to do exactly what they did with Harry and spy a little bit to make sure the families are just lying through their teeth.

However, I agree that there would be the off chance that a kid would make the mistake in public. That gives the ministry plenty of rp potential on top of the idea that we could have wizarding social service workers from the ministry. Making sure they check in on the populace of magical children and ensuring they are all in healthy homes that will not reject them would be crucial to cutting down the amount of accidents where magic is revealed to a muggle and hiding those few children that are.
