Yea I believe USA didn't have any child labor laws till early 1900s. I'm not saying kids should be forced into a factory or hazardous job again but they can do simple jobs like lawn mowing and newspaper delivery. When I turned 14 my parents told me to get a job so I had an easy biweekly local paper route. I also had to do chores like mowing grass and cleaning to earn my 5 to 10 dollar weekly allowance. Basically my parents could have given me nothing and just forced me to do it. However the money gave me more incentive to do a good job.
