1. i'm sorry I don't get this post-

i'm here at du very occasionally so do not know the protocol.

but the caption caught my eye, and I wonder what you are asking for.

I went to the link, altho I did not read all of the responses. Are you asking for people to refute the comments? Do you feel your point (or the point of the post) was not recognized?

Bec. to me it is obvious that we need safety and child labor laws (many more than we have).

thanks.

2. You got it perfectly

"we need safety and child labor laws (many more than we have)".

It seems a couple DUers (one is a cave dweller I tangle with from time to time) think it is ok for minors (under 18) to work in construction against Federal law.

Or because the age and of the youth isn't in the story, he MUST BE 18, even though the school stated they confirmed a minor was working on the site.

And please give it an R for visibility. Thanks for asking.
