What if you could be reasonably suspected of just that - but are actually not?
As mentioned, since the average height of 17 year old girl is 157 cm, adults in their upper 140s should not be rare.
A vaguely teenage looking female in her upper 140s might be a 12 year old trying to look 18 and succeeding, or a 17 year old who is looking more like 27, or a 27 year old who is trying to look 17 and succeeding.
So, assuming that you have a bona fide 12 year old, or a bona fide 17 year old of 149 cm. The age can be proven from ID. Is a proven 17 year old claiming the child discount something that is likely to attract enforcement efforts, to try and prove she is 151 cm pretending to be 149 cm?
