Reply to comment by WalkerBRiley in Hallowell pub faces $17,000 fine for nearly 700 child labor law violations by DrMcMeow

Except to get an underage work permit... you have to

  1. Be enrolled in school

  2. Not under suspension or habitually truant

  3. passing a majority of courses

For someone underage that NEEDS to work (especially 40 hour work weeks), I'm going to guess they don't have 1 or more of these things.

Pretending like those criteria are "nothing" is completely dismissing the very challenging situations some kids find themselves in.
