If the business commits a crime like killing a kid, there are laws for that - just like there are laws for when businesses kill adults.

You are not providing a reason to bar the kid from working, you are providing a reason to outlaw murder(which is already illegal).

You doubt there are people under 18 who want to work? Should everyone just take your doubt for evidence of the absence of those people? I think not.

I do agree, if you stand by your beliefs on this issue, you are officially a self-proclaimed authoritarian on this issue.

It's cute that you think I'm talking about murder. Triangle Shirtwaist fire. Children in mines and mills. Children in factories. Children on farms. Children in retail. These are all areas of labor that have killed, maimed, and injured children. These kids were never murdered, they were hurt and killed in accidents that occurred because they were too young to handle the conditions of labor that was demanded of them. Fuck you for advocating for children to return to that type of labor.

Kids routinely get hurt (and sometimes killed) just playing. As long as they're not getting more seriously hurt more often at a job than regular activities, I don't see what the issue is, at all.
