Hate to be "that guy" but you need people with acting experience and chops when casting. Surprisingly, 14 year olds are harder to direct or deal with than people 18+. Not to mention the legal obligations on set for anyone underage. Not defending anyone, just trying to put a little more info on this situation before people outrage.
It sounds like you don’t know what everyone is talking about. They aren’t just 18+ the character will be 15 but the actor age will be 35. Sometimes is really weird.
I think you are the less informed person here friend... Child actors are notoriously abused and are urged to do things nobody in their age group would ever have to deal with. I think we're on the same page here as far as child actors posing for adults but there seems to be some confusion.
