Who does PADI think a 12 year old is going to rescue? Even at 15 with NAUI you may still not qualify. I can see it now asking a 12 year old to tow a 180 lb guy and get him on board a boat. Like I had to do. Of course then PADI is a for profit business and NAUI is a Not for Profit organization.

Yikes! My wife is 4'11" and around 95 pounds.... my eleven year old is bigger than her! At 12, we are predicting that he will tower mom in both size and strenght.... but I sill wouldn't look down at her and say "you too whimpie do that" if I were you!
And, I'm 6'5" around 240 pounds.... can a 40 year old 5'2" 110 pound female diver (just a typical size) rescue me? Hmmmmmm.... OK... no comment!
