Correct but someone who is between the ages of 14 to 17 is considered a juvenile, and not a child. This dude was almost 18, in 2 months time, legally he’s an adult, in 2 months time, he isn’t going to magically mature into a less dumb person.
But somebody at that age shouldnt have to work a job that is operating heavy machinery like that. Obviously there’s going to be frequent injuries when somebody young works in positions like these.
For what? Allowing 16 year olds to work isn’t something new…most 16 year olds want jobs so they have spending cash and it allows them to experience becoming adults. When should someone be allowed to work? 21 for you? Or 25 so their mind is finally fully developed?
Until they start jailing the people hiring and maiming children, this will continue to be seen as little more than the cost of doing business.

17 isn’t a kid anymore, but ok…
Legally and socially they are, but ok.
No legally, they’re a juvenile, and legally, if they did something illegal, they would be charging them as an adult.
Anyone under 18 is a minor.

A bar that served alcohol to someone who was two months from their 21st birthday would still get fined for selling to a minor. The law is the law.
Cool, you can work when you’re 17…that’s never changed.

What exactly is your imaginary cutoff line then?

Look at how you completely avoided my question and rephrased it to fit your own question that you then threw at me.
Are you actually processing what I say and responding? Or are you just waiting for me to finish so you can say your part?
You do know in the USA 18 is the definition of no longer being a kid right
You know in the USA, 14-17 is a juvenile and not a child in the courts right?
Found the libertarian.
Something tells me there’s a reason we don’t let 17 year olds vote, drink, have sex with adults and run for office
"But officer, SupraMario said… "
The age of consent in a majority of states is 16. Then another 7 states are 17.
Most big population states like Cali / Texas / Florida are 18 but Illinois and New York are both 17.
Shhh…don’t come in here spouting logic.
But but the legal system says so…fuck you people are dense as fuck.
