In this current climate its only fair they fine them.

The job should have been tendered out so that all children could have applied.

Not a single leaflet in a school, not a newsagents posting, nothing.

Sheer Nepotism!

    "No one considered Dexter in all of this. They prosecute us as parents for supporting our child to become someone with skills."

    There's a shaved ice vendor we're buddies with at the flea market. Their kid is a teen, so young I couldn't tell he was a boy, maybe 14. He keeps all the profit, which is meager, for his college fund. Kid is motivated and hustles. What an awful thing to teach a child!

    Petite bourgeoisie fined for endangering a child and exploiting their labour for profit.

    Being their son arguably makes it worse.

    I'm not for forcing children to work but if you can't safely use a knife or deep fryer at 14 I don't have very much hope for you.
