I just thought of a workaround. Give all your characters pointy ears, claim they are elves. Since elves are close to immortal, a claim that an elf looking like a human child is actually 80 years old would not be disputable... See, we're all safe.

These TOS beat themselves. They only succeed in aggravating a lot of members. Silly.
I just looked up some legal stuff, including the PROTECT Act (thanks for the link thixen). As far as I know, that is the current applicable law. These TOS go way, way beyond what's in the PROTECT Act. Why? Just follow the law, and deal with borderline cases as they arise. The mods will have to deal with borderline cases anyway.
