One thing to consider : Once a girl enters puberty and begins menstruating, she generally will get little more additional height. I believe about one inch is about all the height a girl can hope to get, after puberty begins. There are exceptions, of course, but as a general rule, this is pretty accurate.

My DBF's niece is in this situation : She "developed" before she was 10, when she was about 4' 10" and 105 lbs . Today, she is going on 19, and stands 4' 11 1/2" and about 145 lbs. There are worse fates than being a grown women less than 5 feet tall...But I think your friends were wise to let their daughter get a a few years older before letting puberty "freeze" her at a particular height.
