forms - Is required validation possible on a switch/toggle control?

Scenario

I want to make sure a user has made a selection on a switch input.

On page load it is either on (1 - in image) or off (2 - in image) depending on what state it is set to in the code.

Problems

1. On submit the input is read as either being on or off (never unselected)


2. Visually it is not obvious whether the current selection is made by the user or the default state on page load

Solution

To get around the two issues mentioned above, I could change the switch to a couple of radio buttons (3 - in image) That way required validation will fire and also you can visually see no selection has been made by a user.

Alternative Solution?

However, I would like to hear any ideas about solving the two problems mentioned but still retaining the switch control. Is it even possible?
