Comment on A literal child taking orders in a fast food restaurant in the US

The yuck part is that children under 18 are legally defined as not having full reasoning and consent capabilities.

So, I wasn’t saying all work is rape, that’s silly and foolish to think.

I’m saying your assertion that teens should have adult independence to make adult choices without laws and support is yuck.

Never said anything about healthy. I have consented to a lot of “relationships” that weren’t healthy for a healthy relationship.

I agree with most of what you said though

It sounds like you are using a legal framework from medical treatment of minors. If I have that right, then you should know that there is an exception for emancipated people under 18 years of age.

Would you support the same exception for work, now that you know this or perhaps you would also eliminate this exception for them to control their own bodies in a medical context?

Court-ordered emancipation. A child under the age of 18 who lives independently without the support of parents and makes his or her own day-to-day decisions may petition the court for emancipation. If granted, the minor will have the same legal rights as an adult, including the right to consent to (and refuse) medical treatment.
