Solutions:

1) [@petit élève] is right (but accidentally switched the names):
Tom was born on 31st December 2003 a few moments before midnight (and so he will celebrate his 15th birthday this year), while Jerry was born on 1st January 2004 a few moments after the new year has just begun (and so he already celebrated his 14th birthday this year).

2) Putin is a funny reply, and you are also right with him, but it was not the solution that I wanted for my riddle:
It's the month January which derives from "Janus", the Roman god of all beginnings and endings (and a lot more) who had two faces looking at the past (=the old year) and at the future (=the new year).

Riddle #856 by [@Maria Kritikou]:

mother's age: m / baby's age: b

(I) m-b=21 ⇒ m=21+b

(II) m+6=(b+6)×5 ⇒ m+6=b×5+30 ⇒ m-24=b×5 ⇒ b=m÷5-24

(b→I) m=21+(m÷5-24) ⇒ m=m÷5-3 ⇒ 0.8m=-3 ⇒ m=-3.75

(m→II) b=-3.75÷5-24=-0.73-24=-24.73

⇒ The mother is -3.75 years old and the child is -24.73 years old… WAIT, WHAAAT??? :D
And I have no idea what the father has to do with it or where he might be! ;)
