[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This law would apply to HOMESCHOOLED CHILDREN ONLY. Look it up.

In that case, I see nothing wrong with it, though I would not allow my own kids to work overnights.

I worked 15-20 hours a week starting at 16 (and usually more in the summers). I balanced school, a school sport, marching band, and my PT job as a grocery store cashier just fine. It was good for me (taught me great time management skills) and I needed the money to help pay for upcoming college expenses. [/quote]

Are you dense? No one is talking about the merits of teenagers having jobs.  They are talking about rolling back worker protections and allowing 14 year olds to work oversight, leaving them open to the predation and danger that happens when you work at jobs at 1 am.[/quote]

Boy those goal posts that you're moving must be heavy.

Again... Federal labor laws prohibit 14 year olds from working more than a certain number of hours per day and week. It also prohibits them from working in certain dangerous jobs. [/quote]

Except, everyone who enforces federal labors laws has been fired. Remember? [/quote]

No more paid federal watchdogs?[/quote]
