The comment is not out of place. In many jurisdictions, a "child" is under 14, while 14-18 is a "young adult" or "adolescent"
You might not be familiar with it but "people under 18" is a long standing propaganda trope.
What Reuters could have said is "Children, defined as people under 18". But they hit the "people under 18" keyphrase.
