Once a delinquent, always a delinquent. It all started with train-hopping in Chicago as a young teen.

The punishment fits the crime! How dare you force a child to work? For shame! Haven't you learned by now that kids are supposed to sit on their rears and play video games all day?

I feel terrrible about what I've done, laughing with a child, playing trucks and cars with him, and then teaching him how to do woodworking. Some day I'll learn. Next time I play soccer with him, I'll make sure there's lots of Gatorade around so I don't get picked up for Child Dehydration. I hope keeping him from his videogames isn't considered abuse.

@TheHorse As long as you don't give him water, you should be fine. Gatorade has the appropriate amount of sugar and electrolytes that a child craves. Anything healthier than Gatorade will have the police on your tail again!

@TheHorse Child Dehydration is neglect especially if it has more than 20 minutes since he had a soda. It is right up there with child hunger, meaning you have no pizza in the house.

Those child labor laws need to be rechecked, at a certain age a little working does a child good ....... hummm I wonder where I could get one, I've got sooo many chores I could offer one

I don't think there's a big problem with older teens working in places like McD's but those under 13 are probably those that are most likely protected by laws @TheHorse I'm not sure what parents do anymore. I don't have kids but if I did I'd make sure they earned any allowance I might want to give. Appreciation is born of labor while getting something for free is not.

I'm not even sure what the laws are. I know that McDonalds is a good place for late teenagers to have their first job. In my day, I'd get a quarter or a dollar or something for mowing the lawn. Do parents still do that?

It is against the law to ask a child to do anything. When I was a kid, I had to haul wood, haul water, do dishes and a whole bunch of other things. My parents would be in jail if that happened today.

@TheHorse I am not sure what CFS stands for. We have CPS here. Somebody got arrested because they refused to take the kid to McDonald's. It is totally ridiculous, no common sense in America.

@akalinus Did that actually happen? Or is that something from The Onion? Here in CA, what used to be called Child Protective Services (CPS), is now called Children and Family Services (CFS). Same thing, different name.

Some kids are so savvy they know they can call CFS if you ask them to clean their room.

@TheHorse As you should rightly be. In view of your remorse I would suggest that the sentence be reduced to 20 years hard labour.

@vandana7 Well, I worked in a minimum security women's prison for many years. And I also did some interviewing of inmates at several jails and prisons around California. So I have "been there," though I got to go home at night.
