14 Year Olds in Florida

Can now work the overnight shift. It’s a great day for children’s rights !

Florida? Where is that? Is it some place in South America? Africa? Maybe the middle east?

What country would make something like that legal?

@Punches I’m not defending it. It’s abusive. But almost every country since our inception had kids working.

@AthrillatheHunt I didn't even know anyone under 15 could be hired in any case.
I had a job washing dishes at 15, for spending money and save for my first car.
They were pretty strict about what hours I could work.

But yeah, it is abusive to even permit age 14 to be working the types of jobs that are overnight.

@Punches I was a dishwasher at 15 too. Preferred that to being a bus boy. That was for weekend brunches , not overnights.
