| Message | Regulation would maybe do if teens were considered children, eg 14-21, but the legal age of adulthood in our proud nation is 14, meaning that any child with a job has to be at most, 13. Anyone this age should be at school, and at very least not having to deal with the stresses of manual labour. |

| Message | We have proposed this law for 2 times and if we do not remember badly we have been only in both the occasions to vote. Not creed that also this time can pass. We are however favorable. |

| Message | "Child labour is a sign of a backwards and harsh society and i cant beleive that it exists in a fairly progressive society like ours!" So a child getting a paper route or starring in a TV program to you is a sign of a harsh and barbaric society? Wow. What an overstatement. "Anyone this age should be at school, and at very least not having to deal with the stresses of manual labour." Who said anything about manual labour? I believe the restrictions in place prevent children from taking up manual labour. Furthermore, children are required by law to compulsorily attend some form of schooling, so I fail to see your point. |
