      “It didn’t do me any harm” is not a reason to do something. And I would say that you have no idea how it harmed your development. People make that claim about getting beaten as kids too.

          So working at 13 years old guarantees you will be good with your money? Or not working at 13 years old guarantees you won’t?

          Because it would seem to me that teaching children financial literacy would be a better plan than allowing corporations to benefit from child labor.

      I was abandoned by my parents, didn’t do me any harm. Guess child abandonment should be legal according to your logic.

          No child abandonment is illegal. Surrendering your child is legal if done a certain amount of time after birth. Thanks for admitting you know nothing about these laws though.

      So you will now quite happily send your 14 yr old daughter to go stand pulling pints in amongst a group of drunken men?
