I can hardly believe that to be the case. Unless it's some complete stranger with a tendency for this I guess.

Well they are technically a child if they're under 18 by some definitions. So what they're saying isn't literally wrong, but I wouldn't focus on the specific word, rather the point they're making.

I guess what they mean is that it's weird to have an underage character always be half naked. I'd probably just make them think they're weird for making a big deal out of nothing if it were me. But that's because they're getting worked up over nothing, if you're also getting worked up, then it seems you both may have reason to take a step back and reflect on it first. Otherwise it sounds like your response would risk resulting in defensiveness or hostility, where I can't tell what productive effect it'd achieve, it might just be detrimental.
