But the US violates the UN Declaration of the RIghts of a Child
by exposing people under 18 years old to conditions with hot oil
and very dangerous working conditions.
There are other aspects of what is considered acceptable in the
USA for people under the age of 18 to do that might be
unacceptable in other countries. I believe some of our rules
involving family businesses violate it as well.
For example, children can work at a restaurant their parents
own.
They can also do heavy farm work at a profit making farm.
I don't remember them all, but as far as I know, the issues
pointed out by the United Nations back in 1990, are still true
in 2015.
