Let's bottom line this.
I was in the 82nd Airborne Divison in the late 70's through early 80's, at time when the military had the "longest" hair. It was normal for black guys to pack their 'fro, for instance, and even white guys heavily gelled their hair to **barely** legal length. Some even got haircuts three times a week because they didn't want to be over the limit.
Well, at least that was what it was like for "legs."
Our commanding general would have NONE of that crap. Airborne, rangers, and Special forces were a cut above, and the general made damn sure anyone who's hair broke regulation got an Article 15. NO "get that shit cut now" beforehand, you got nailed.
OK, long story. The bottom line: "If you think you are close to needing a haircut, you NEED a haircut." That was the clear-cut line, the boundary, no ambiguity, clearly black/white with no room for wiggleness.
If I were Doctor J, I'd make DAMN sure I knew who my friends were and checked the Internet very closely. Doug Bulna only lost his job. This is worse.
Same for Doctor_J. If you have to "wonder" or "ask" if someone is old enough, 1) Mentally, your wires are screwed up (well, they were already screwed up for the DUmp, but I digress), and 2. YOU ARE A ****ING PEDO. No ifs, ands, or buts.
This is one of those things in life that can NOT be "debated" or "bring enlightenment to." Frankly, anyone under 30 looks like a freakin' junior high school kid (way before "middle" school became in vogue), but that's just me. Mostly it's because most kids under 30, unless they are military, ER, LE, firefighter, or a married parent, have no real clue to life.
And to wonder about what age to get a woodie over a kid, well, that makes you a pedo, even if you "deny" it all the time.
