- Child labor is all over the news again.Most recently, at least 100 children were found illegally employed in dangerous meat-packing plant jobs across eight states. To understand why the United States has a child labor problem, we have to go back and look at our history. In this week’s Stay Tuned, we’ll uncover when child labor started, what it looked like, how we cracked down on it, and why it’s still around.

the problem is greed.
I wish I could put a heart on this.
always has been
That's right. They not only want to put them to work in dangerous places but they want to pay them less than a full grown man!
Exactly, if children want to work let them work and make some money. The greedy lazy adults don't want to compete with kids that want to develop skills and make some spending money. The would rather then sit at home and play video games all day until they are adults and are forced to be dependent on the government. The politicians love a population they can control.
@@johnnyfreedom3437if a child can earn as much income as a full grown man I'd argue that man isn't much of a man.
I understand that parents give their kids chores. Several of my cousins lived on the dairy with their family and they helped around the dairy. However, it wasn’t hard and painful work but it was shoveling hay or hosing the barn. It certainly wasn’t all day every day. There’s a huge difference between having chores and using kids as personal servants.
i agree.
when i think about world i think about the ecosystem holistically. every animal works everyday, there is no such thing as a lazy animal. and the animals that are sedentary confuse me. humans are supposed to work as well. modern human are not living as nature intended. we were not supposed to have access to oil deep in the earth. we have destroy the earth to get to the oil (fracking). we are supposed to hunt. build temporary homes. we are supposed to move with the animals and weather. everyone as soon as they can learn a skill, had to work to survive. what makes child labor a problem is when its benefiting only slave owner and the slave owner would never do a dirty dangerous job.
before modern times, everyone in the community worked together for like 6 hours a day and then they were able to bond and have community time. hunting trips might have been harder to predict. other than that, they had a system that worked. then it all changed when slavery happened.
i dont understand slothes and pandas. although they cute creatures, i think those animals are on their way to extinct themselves. they eat nutrient deficient foods so much, they are very sedentary animals. for example a panda doesnt produce enough milk for two babies so it just abandons second baby. and no predator wants to eat sloth because its so toxic from the food it eats but then it hardly moves.
Humans if you want to go back. Are violently lazy
Farm kids many times do farm chores about 3 to 5 hours a day week days alone. Now add weekend hours easy 27 hours a week and that is on the normal light side of farming kids.
This is awful. Can you imagine the child abuse by the bosses of them places they worked at.
My dad was born in 1910 and in 1918 his mom died of Spanish flu leaving five children all under the age of nine. Her last words? “Don’t let Eddie go into the mines.” He never did, thanks, primarily, to his maternal grandfather who was a founding delegate of the UMW. My life would have been profoundly different if his mom didn’t fight for him on her deathbed.💙❤️💙‼️🇺🇸
When I was 10 - 12 years we were so poor I got a job going door to door selling fruit and got 25 cents for every bag I sold. We’d get dropped off in different neighborhoods and were put in a van and driven to different ones. At 11 I worked selling newspaper subscriptions and we were dropped off at different grocery stores and left alone from 4pm - 8pm. My parents didn’t ask this of me but I wanted to be able to buy school clothes. This breaks my heart seeing children being exploited like this.
Yes many wanted to to make life better for mom and dad and learned and earned a ton of respect.
All the child labor laws in America did was export child labor to other countries--because we love our consumerism, sweat shops pop up in other countries that do not have child labor laws. Have mercy on us LORD, help us over come our lusts of the flesh, and our pride of life.
Not us . The corporations, we bave nothing to do with them specially not me.
@@JennHui-gf2hrIf you enjoy products from Walmart or fruits from your local market, it's YOU TOO.
Ad then throw in how we are actively limiting adult immigrant labor and employers are now eyeing children as an alternative cheap labor pool.
No
That is why they are outlawing abortion. Cheap labor and cannon fodder.
In FL migrants in agri & construction are gone. DeSatan will soon join other States in signing a Child Labor Laws! Will his 3 children work?
Of course we actively limit immigration. We can’t take immigrants in faster than we can assimilate them to American life. We already have millions of Americans than cannot speak English or cannot speak it well. They also aren’t assimilating to American life. We don’t want the US turning into a South American country.
@@Noname11364 and they are American Employers. And the safety of immigrant kids is as important as any other kid.
Supposed to protect children and love them.
Not supposed to be slaves!
Should have known better than to harm a child and take their childhood. 💭🤬
6:53 they’d still have stacks of applications if they paid well. No instead they’ll lower the age and wage to get fresh meet in the grinder. In 1989 and 1990 I would get on a bus in our projects in Massachusetts, be driven over the boarder to Connecticut, as day labor, to pick tobacco. We’d get picked up about 6:30am and we’d get back on the bus to go home about sun down, for $25 a day. At 11 and 12 making $125 a week felt huge. They didn’t come any longer when I was 13, so I started taking care of kids each day, like my own projects day care. I had to hustle or there was no fun money or money for school clothes. I still hustle, so my kid doesn’t have to adult too early.
The McDonald's in my town is only hiring 14 & 15 year olds, they only have to pay so much and the government covers the rest of their paychecks. Of course companies are going to go with hiring kids when it means saving money.
Exactly
Yo that’s facts , in 86 I was 12 years old working in a supermarket packing bags for tips in NY. Only worked for 2 hrs during the week cause of school for about $10 a day not counting saturdays, saturdays you can make over 50 bucks. But I believe that was good cause it taught me work ethics and responsibilities and how you need to work to survive. Nowadays kids get babied too much.don’t get me wrong there need to be protections for the kids but it’s good to let them work if they want to. Not forced into it.
I woorked in gast station at 13 and beanfields at 14
For a period of time, I lived with my aunt and uncle who ran a business, not family owned. They apparently needed employment so, whenever I turned eleven, I started working 7am-5pm. They said that I was being paid, but I never saw that money. I was working with toxic chemicals and it was affecting both my mental and physical wellbeing. Whenever I spoke out about this, everybody dismissed it, saying it wasn't that bad and when I got older, I'll have to work more. I worked around the age of 14, before my parents filed for custody. Now I have a job I love and a (hopefully) fully healthy body.
Oh my god I am so sorry. That’s just awful
It sickens me employers don't want to pay so they say lets use free labor children its a gross misinterpretation of the facts!! I was working on a farm at the age of 9yrs old spraying sugar peas with dangerous pesticide up & fown rows, had no clue to the dangers, it came back to hunt me I now suffer from an Autoimmune disorder thats killing me, but oh well its just kids right???
After studying the 1940 US Census, most of my maternal relatives had graduated 8th grade and hired on at the local sawmill or ranch. My grandmother was working at her hometown's bakery about the same age.
I myself picked strawberries, then raspberries when I was 12-14 years old back in mid-70's.
Why we have an underage labor issue is because
1. Lack of children being educated,
2. Because the cost of living has risen EXPONENTIALLY in 45 years while wages for middle and lesser incomes have remained stagnant.
3. The government has done the deal with ol' Lu and is now the corporations puppet until
4. Plants are caught red-handed in doing so and finally
5. The cost of fines is so paltry compared to profits its cheaper TO PAY THE FINE than go to an adult workforce.
My answer to this problem is to charge a % of profits when a company is discovered to be doing so willfully and multiple % of profits can stack on top of each other past the point of businesses net profit into working capital!
Yet my congressman refuses to even approach it in the house, publicly its about hurting businesses but under their breath something about not committing political self minecraft is noted (i got VERY good ears).
Nah, 257,000 unaccompanied minors who crossed the southern border to take advantage of the "unaccompanied minor" loophole are now in this country with no family, no home, no skilled job training, and no accountability. The reason why so many children are suffering is the emotional, reactionary well intentioned but not thought out immigration "policies" of the Democrats.
Illegal immigration
Idc if the agricultural sector is struggling to find workers they cannot use children it is cruel.
Plenty of us grew up working on farms, that's true but I'm actually struggling thinking of any safe jobs a bunch of kids could do on industrial size farms. Even the sorting and boxing facilities can be hectic and dangerous.
Farming can be dangerous work and even more so on an industrial size farm. Adults who have been farming their whole lives get seriously injured and even lose their lives. Labor rules should vary based on the type of work, equipment used, hours worked and more safety issues. My kids love to earn money working outside the home and in moderation it is awesome to teach them new skills and work ethic. They should be allowed this opportunity, but as a society we should be ensuring their safety and preventing them from working too many hours.
Labor Laws in the US started around 1914 with outlawing child labor in the US.
Children should do some "labor", around the house. But if their own desire is earnimg some dough, there should be safe and non exploit jobs available to them.
America is going BACKWARDS! Did you know that CURRENTLY, in the US, there are "racially" segregated school functions?? America is going BACKWARDS. And did you know that more and more States have a populace successfully voting to further segregate MORE schools and their functions "racially"?!? America is going BACKWARDS.
Actually they're providing a safe space for BIPOC people.
It's usually from the left and blacks wanting their own system.
I agree!!
How many of the managers in these companies have done jail time for their part in child labor. Fines don't work. Put their butts in a jail house bunk bed.
Or its because you all keep raising the price to live so then everyone has to work to survive
Child labor has always been legal on American farms, especially if the child is born into the family owning the farm. As the saying goes, "As soon as you can walk, you can work"
Lol these are immigrant children ...kid are you blind?
That only applies to family farms. Children can't be hired out. It's illegal and has been illegal for almost a century.
There is a massive difference between one working on the family farm. And children going into Mills and coal mines.
And meat packing plants and working the graveyard shift.
@@soltantio Chelsea neighborhood in Manhattan where The Highline begins was once a meat packing district
I started working @ 13 in the USA. So I know this topic rather closely. I will say that it was my choice to make income. At that time it was more for buying stuff my parents wouldn't or couldn't. I knew it was against the law, but that didn't seem to stop any manager from any grocery store or department store or fast food place who needed the help because other legal-working age teenagers would have thought the jobs beneath them.
Love Lewis Hine’s photography!
So true, not many want to tell their story as to not embarras the parents or family in general. But oh so true.
So sad. Thank you for covering. Needs exposure
This is so sad, My Grandpa went to work at 11 at the paper mill with a team of horses hauling logs to the chipper.
When he should have been in school. 😢
People tend to forget that child labor was a necessity on the family farm. That’s one of the main reasons why a farm family was so large. It sure was much cheaper than hiring outside help to run the farm. So you figure that farm family that had, like 10, 11 or more children had everyone of those children working on the farm. My mom told me that she was making entire meals for the family and the farm hands at the age of five.
But we not in that era anymore and there’s a tasteful way of doing it lol I’m from Africa they do that in villages but they’re still treated like children in the cases I’ve seen and what my mom told me
The loosening of child labor laws in Republican held states, is done so because none of the employers want to pay livable wages to adults and due to the loss of immigrant workers because of Republicans who are attacking immigrants and restricting their work visas in the US. Parents & families who have middle wage incomes and above won't be sending their children to plants and factories or farms to do hard labor. It will be the poor families who need the extra income pushing their children to work in these brutal and dangerous hard labor jobs. Again, it's the poor children who will suffer over the loosening of child labor laws.
What makes you think that only Republican held states have employers that don't want to pay a liveable wage? Come to NY and you will have a real eye opener. We are experiencing poverty like never before and our crime rate is through the roof. By the way I live in a small city and our crime has become ridiculous!
Also a lot of these same employer don't want to give you full time work either. If you aren't full time they don't have to offer benefits
Republican problem 😂😂😂😂 Yet when immigrants have their children out there working silence. Can your hypocrisy scream any louder? Which is it, is it all bad or just bad when you can blame one political side?
@robertgodlewski8553 here in 2nd largest that's not the case. Yes we have crime no better or worse than previous. It tends to be in same area of the city amongst the the same bad apples different gen. Even that has improved slightly with education. For 10yrs or so hame seen an improvement with those that get better education & want a better life that entry jobs & move from where they grew up. That's somewhat encouraging.
@@johnryan8859 Believe it or not coronavirus killed our economy in upstate NY. Everything up north became expensive. Don't even think about living in a rural area unless you have a decent income. Even our apartments in our area are expensive!
Ya know… I was a paperboy at 11 years old-my first job. Averaged 22 hours per week!
4:24 same supreme court
And these businesses understand that a child is too naive to understand how exploited they are. Like yeah a 16yr old would be able to work, but an 11yr old, no, definitely not.
This is not right. Children have a lot of chores in their own homes. Not only they have to go to school but some of them have extracurricular activities that are not school related like sports.
The ones doing this should be sent to jail one that still has chain gangs ...JUST FOR THEM !!!
This is why our school year goes from September to June, so that kids could work on the farms during the summer.
Not true. Farm labor is needed most in spring and fall. We have a small farm and know this first hand. If school breaks were determined by agriculture kids would be in school for a winter and summer term. School would also take place during the hottest part of the day as farm chores are mostly done in the mornings and evenings. There is a reason they call it summer vacation. The rich wanted to get out of town during the summer heat. Small family farms don't benefit and lower income families get the short end of the stick from "summer slide".
@@momh3415Exactly. Some people don't seem to even have common sense though as to how and when our food is grown. It just shows up in the stores.
Even tho we have E-Verify it’s often worked around. In SC I can say that in a majority on any meat processing plants Chicken, beef, pork they and the parents are working side by side illegally. In NC just drive around in the neighborhoods that are booming and building. No one is in Reg with Osha. The topic we should be tackling is pay, and inflation. Every-time the pay goes up the then the community sees it as a opportunity to also go up in it prices to receive the $1.00 raise given to the tax payer. Which creates an ongoing loop. If you don’t want to pay higher wages then stop charging higher prices. The employer’s and leaseholders of cars , and homes created most of the problems.
Two words politicians and corporations.
Nope
Here in alberta we have scandal when accident at fort mcmurray oilsand job.they found slave from china.cnrl was very embarrass on this thing.this video still happen today.thank you video
I started working at the age of 12 not full-time only part-time I'm 67 years old now it didn't hurt me to have money to help pay for some of the things I needed for school
Is this only half the show?
Where's the Sound of Freedom guy on this???
I worked the fields when I was a kid, and I am not sorry. Try coming from a poor family with 5 kids.
Awful worried about children here while supporting the mutilation and damaging of their mental health
Thank you!!!
I was one of them and I still am
Nonsense
Where is Charles Dickens? We need him to write another book!
I think he died from despair.
This is old I’ve known about this for almost a year now
People/parents who defend child labor now days usually insist that it's fundamental in teaching children how to learn fundamental trades that will be helpful in their future... without consider the fact their child still doesn't know how to multiply or that the Earth is round.
Still going on hasn't stop !
perhaps the employers believe the children will develop skills that will be useful when they become adults.
My grandmother was born.in.1890 . When.she was 8. Years old She Were to work in a Mill 😔
When I turned 13 I started working full time hours. My parents were immigrants scraping by to make it and their manager was ok with having me and my sibling do the work for single salary which at the time was somewhere around $4/hr
reflects the growing number of children and teens around the U.S. working in hazardous jobs meant for adults, a violation of federal laws aimed at protecting minors. The Labor Department conducted 955 investigations that found child labor violations in fiscal 2023, up 14% from the prior year. Roughly 5,800 kids were illegally employed in the 12-month period ending September 30 - up 88% since 2019.
Oh my God
It is the parents responsibility to support them until they are 18 years old. If children need to work they should at least be 15 years old. Long way back in my country they were 6 years old and up when they started working. Either in a household or at a farm. If the parents could not get food and clothes for the children they could be sold to a rich farmer at the lowest price. The children got to work very hard and could be beaten by the farmer. The social welfare system did not exist like now and it was allowed by law to sell children. My grandmother started to work when she were 13 years old during the 1920´s. My father also started to work after he got his education during the 1940´s - 1950´s and supported his parents with food and so on. My mother were much older when she started working before she were 18 years old. I started working during the summer vacation and I were 13 -14 years old. Picking strawberry from 05.00 til 12.00 or 13.00 5 - 6 weeks. The most I got were 260 dollars for a hole summer. My father was an early retiree as he had injured his back in his work and my mother had a part-time work as a cleaner when I grew up. My brother worked also during the summer.
Cons love to scream about illegals in this country but never seems to be upset about the businesses that knowingly employ/exploit them.
Considering how bad the public education system is, I think child labor should be regulated definitely. but I don't think we should ban it. I cannot imagine a part time paid job after school being a bad thing unless they are taken advantage of and as I said should be regulated. All them to save and invest while they are young.
Considering how bad the public education is, maybe we should improve public education. No? Let's allow child labour instead? Ok.
Wait let us think critically about this: which is better: a child goes to school I would say primary education is most important for language proficiency and perhaps maths and economics in secondary school what significant impact has education does to us? Has it transformed our lives in tremoudous ways? If a child starts to learn a skill as early as 9 as when it was before colonial masters came to enslave the world. Learn a skill and master that skill. Before you get socially exposed (btw age 6-20) I notice these children work energetically on village farms than we adults. They are loyal to their mentors than we adults and they become professionals in their speciality before 25. All universities taught us is not reality but to end up doing the menial jobs after we have been mentally and physically over-worked to compete for As and Bs. Then when we are given factory jobs or farm work , we curse the day we are born. I think education should now be optional to moderate unemployment :over exploitation situations. If we say this is child labour , what about we adults exploited at work with poor living conditions. Thrown into fields that never tallied with the major programmes you wasted your time learning. I only strongly reprimand them for not paying these kids a decent wage to encourage them to see that there is 'reward for hardwork' and if they work in mine fields they should give them protective gears and see to their well being regularly. By the time they become adult , they would be highly skilled in that profession. End result of education on a normal day is to be a slave so why waste 12 to 14 yrs on compulsory education that was introduced by the white race to make schools become highly profitable world wide with no jobs to match the money and time invested throughout your studies. We all should start reviewing our doctrines on certain things.
Imo, homeschooling paves the way for that opportunity. The only issue is many parents are working themselves making it out of reach for many. If they opened opportunities for us to use our tax dollars to pay for educational paths we deemed fit for our family/our children choose those career paths early in life, it'll be more beneficial to all. I agree, "traditional schools" are a waste of time. Talor the education paths early on. By the time students graduate high school they should have obtained trades/certifications, and not making "slaves" to their system.
@@kgordon3206 Exactly. 'tailor the education paths early'. 👍.
My mother went to work in a cotton mill when she had to drop out of school in the 7th grade.
I don't think it's completely bad. I would prefer that my kid would be working than spending all day alone in the basement and playing video games. But it would be at his choice and his time. Some kids here just receive people at the restaurant and just send them to a table. It's not heavy and physical labor at all. Kids today. I am not sure what they want. But they will have to figure it out.
The graveyard shift? In a Meatpacking plant?
Are you currently in school in Florida? You'd rather your child be working 12 or maybe more hours, for little pay, in hazardous conditions? On average there are over 200,000 injuries reported in the US concerning child labor. Thousands are permanent. Burns, electrocuted, amputated appendages, blindness, chemical burns, deglovings. But you're ok with that.... you should not have kids.
@@AveragePicker I completely agree with you. I started working at the age of 11 with toxic chemicals, and I still have health concerns from those chemicals now that I am an adult which will likely never go away. I'd rather my child play video games then work like this. While I wouldn't mind my teenager being a host at a restaurant by his choice, that is about all that I'd allow.
Dig deeper into who is pushing laws ,timing and what has recently taken place. Why do we see same stories over and over but no news ? This is the beginning - develop it.
Lol living and growing up on a farm that was sole source of income you realize it’s time to go to work at an early age. No BS all day work .
Sound of freedom on the streets but child labor in bed
Seriously? This is hillarious! And the WH is talking about forced labour in Xinjiang?😂
I employ kids....as actors. They earn more money in four weeks than a teacher does in a year.
Labor doesn't hurt a child.
This warms the hearts of GOP politicians everywhere.
You think it’s better in places like CA with undocumented immigrants? Wait, the media won’t cover that….
@@DoremonUCRIm glad you're interested in protecting all children. The law covers them too. Immigrants in CA typically make more then minimum wage which is far higher then Southern States.

It is good for kids to work if they want to. But some protections against exploitations is warranted.
I had a newspaper route when I was 11. I don't feel like I missed out on childhood as a result. Rather, it provided me with discretionary income. I was not expected to contribute to my household.
Child labour does not equal child exploitation, as this video suggests.
It doesnt????????? Oh okay, lol a paper route lol okay
A newspaper route😂😂😂 that's not the same as working full time in a textile mill. Your opinion is silly!
Very true. My mom grew up in a large family farm and was cooking dinners for everyone at the age of five.
I did too, at 10. I got up at 6 and was done by about 6:40 then got ready for school. My school never suffered either. Taught me a good work ethic. I continued working until I retired a few years ago. I liked having my own money. A little hard work never hurt ANYBODY.
My god did any of you listen to the article for at least 30 seconds? Nobody's talkin about having a paper route or babysitting or picking fruit summer vacations with your friends.
You completely skipped people like Mother Jones in your narrative. Very conveinient😡
If xl digital theaters would pay an adult wage they would have an adult but in an application.
So why cannot get adults for those jobs?

AMERICA ♥️s FREE LABOUR
"The children yearn for the mines."
How? BECAUSE FAMILIES AREN'T SURVIVING ON 2 PAYCHECKS ANYMORE.
A child deserves a chance to learn a trade. Child labor laws made a society if weak men in america.
Costa Rica is not like rest of Central America, here has their problem with immigrants from Venezuela, Nicaragua, Haiti, Cuba, Argentina, African people, and obviously also from China
I love how the ignorant believe that simply making child labor illegal is going to somehow solve something. All that does is take food out of their mouths. Changing the conditions that lead ti the necessity for kids to work requires leadership and that's something America hasn't seen in decades.
You could use that argument to say it's naive to make murder illegal because it will still happen
Let's make slavery legal again.
Sad 😞 .. THESE PEOPLE DONT CARE! Stole these kids childhood!
Hello 😮 1500 was the year and earlier when children as young as 10 working graveyard shift . Why ?
That’s got JBS all over it.
because children are "economically worthless but emotionally priceless", according to Viviana Zelizer
These poor little babies should not be allowed to work in meat packing companies or n farming. Anyone who hires them should be charged with child abuse. These poor kids don’t deserve to work in this type of hard labor. The owners of the companies should be prosecuted for hiring them. This bs about them not knowing they are minors is bull crap. Farmers should be hVe harsh sentences for n my along these kids work.
I worked on the farm full-time with my dad after 8th grade before getting a job at 16. No regrets. Now my kids are choosing to go into the workforce after 8th grade, and they're learning marketable skills, teamwork, and great work ethic. They're being a valuable contribution to society and making a living wage or better by the time they become legal adults. They know that if they choose a career path that requires a degree, they can go get that degree.
I agree that slave labor type situations for kids are horrible, and it's unfortunate when families have to have the kids working just to survive, but I believe in this country (USA) there is a much greater problem with the destruction of the family unit combined with the worthlessness and indoctrination of much of higher education. If the kids would find those small apprentice style employers, get out there and learn new skills while getting paid a decent wage, we wouldn't have so many have them lingering in extended adolescence, sitting in their parents basement playing video games and getting depressed. We would have less of the selfish me first ideology that is so prominent in our society today.

Kiss up to you boss
Let them work…. Make it safe and that’s ok.. in the old days kids were working young.. teaches good work values and makes them have pride in what they do.. I was working for my family in the gas station when I was 12
I agree, if the child wants to work and is able to reap the benefits of having job. Like keeping wages, only working a few hrs, to insure their education comes 1st. These jobs must be safe, not subjecting children to chemicals sprayed on crops. Not allowing them to work around or near farming equipment, not allowing them to lift/bend for long periods or heavy items.
Cheap labor, owners don't have to pay insurance etc etc, going back before the American civil war
I work at Family Dollar that is now owned by Dollar Tree. We struggle to find people to work for us but we hire children! It's only reason we struggle is because Dollar Tree is a piece of crap and they start out at minimum wage which is 1005 for Michigan. That may sound like a lot for some states like Tennessee whose minimum wage is below $8 725 when I left there in 2019. But we don't hire children. Apparently though Michigan is a part of that if this RUclips video has any truth to it. You can't believe everything you hear off the internet. I am going to research this that I hear and I hope other people do the same and don't just watch this and believe it. Do your research people! Don't just believe people that's put things on the internet! Doing your research means going through the process of finding more than one more than two more than five more than that and figuring out if it is truth or fact. I'm not saying I don't believe it at all I'm just saying to your research. Like before the internet existed people had to actually do the research in the library. Same difference but now you have an easier way to do it. So do it!
Do we all just assume all kids will grew up in happy loving family, but at the same time these loving parents will send them out to work agains their wills?
Keep calling it child-labour is not accurate. Because the word child-labour has the connotation of “forced labour”.
If they work on family farm or help mom out with sorting newspaper, that’s simply helping your family. It’s not like they are working the kids to death and won’t let him go to school.
If we are talking about finding a job at McDonald’s, that’s not child labour, that’s called autonomy. If the parents are all loving and caring, they won’t force them to do it. But if not, the kids can have some autonomy by being able to earn some income by himself and buy himself food and enjoy some freedom from the abusive family. Have a higher chance to walk out of there earlier.
Third case scenario, if the child’s family is loving and caring but having a hard time financially, if you are a 14 years old kid, who love your family, wouldn’t you love to be able to take up one or two shift at the McDonald’s or no frills, and help relieve the burden from your parents, doesn’t it feel good to be able to help your loved ones? It’s not like those companies are going to make them slaves. It’s just hourly paid job that you can walk away anytime.
And it build the kids’ confidence, too, when they know that they CAN be a part of the economic society, when they can get a taste of reality, not just always being treated as a kid and minor who deserve less respect and trust because “you are just a kid”.

True any kid working past normal hours needs to be looked into. Kids I hear working graveyard shift is so wrong.

@@dragoonseye76 Well Duh I see all over news lately of kids working late night shifts under 17.
What if the parents are living in poverty and struggling to pay for food, medicine, and shelter. This is USA where there’s very little social welfare
@@anywhereroam9698 Kids help with bill and what needs to be done as long as they keep up the grades, keep good hours while parents keep track of them while at work. That is what a normal parant did and should be doing today.
Child labor is wrong, period.
