There in Australia a 14 year kid would like a full grown woman and here in India a full grown woman of 20 plus would look like a 14 year kid. They can easily pass on as school girl.

We do not have such rules. In the recent LIF week, a 2yr old child was used & she fell off the ramp. These things sud be avoided.
