The comment is not out of place. In many jurisdictions, a "child" is under 14, while 14-18 is a "young adult" or "adolescent"

There needs to be a clear legal standard, and 18 Years is the arbitrary line we agreed on.
When a 17 Year old go to war, they are child soldiers, and when they get bombed/starve, they count towards the children death toll.
