My niece wants to know: if she donates her hair to Locks of Love, and the recipient of her hair commits a crime and leaves hair at the crime scene, will her DNA be found all over the crime scene and thus incriminate her? She's 12.

What does the age have something to do with this? Its a genuine shower thought, nothing related to age.

    I think the implied meaning is that it's a very clever question and it's unexpected for someone so young to think of it. So it's kind of a humblebrag that their daughter is smart.

    She could definitely be smart and likely isn't dumb, but I don't think this level of thinking is out of the ordinary for a 12 year old.

    Agreed, that's why I find it weird to be bragging about the age. It could be insulting for the person, and specifically their intelligence.

    I think it's less about "my daughter is smart" and more about "my innocent young daughter is anxious" as a commentary on the surveillance state. Although she's more likely in danger from faulty AI facial recognition.
