Speaking as a long time community member here, and as a father of 2 very young girls, I can empathise with your worries and concerns - i'd be the first to complain if I thought someone was being exploited, or some underrage porn was being solicited here, but speaking as a coordinator (having seen the gallery in question), I personally think that your perceptions on age are incorrect - the subject/artist in question looks the age she states (maybe even a little older), but even if she were actually as much as 5 years younger (which I seriously doubt), she'd be able to post these pics of herself quite safely and legally. The artist/model may be a bit of an exhibitionist, but I don't feel that she is underage in any way. There is no obvious infringement of the TOS here from what I can see (the hand over genitals may be borderline). Decisions on these matters are made based on the opinion of several coordinators, and ultimately one or several moderators.
