| Message | How many of us are having our newspapers delivered by those under 18? How many students under 18 work to put themselves through college or University, or just to provide more money to their family? What do those who legally chose to leave school at age 16 do until they are 18? At the moment we define an adult as someone 18 or over, therefore a chlld is someone under 18. Yet our current laws forbid children working, so those, (like our newspaper delivery agents) who do so are illegal and get none of the protections of the adult workforce. We think this is wrong and should be changed immediately. |
