Well, examples of companies which uses child labor would be sugar cane companies (in south america/aisa) and carpet companies (some found in middle-east). For specific companies, Nike and Old Navy have been accused of using child labor, although I'm not 100% sure. You can do more research towards this topic, or check out free the children website for more information.

Websites...I don't know but try the local newspapers. Ask themif any single copy carriers(they deliver to stores and machines)need help. It is usually late at night for a couple hours but if you don't mind being up....it's easy work.

Well it depends on the family income. Families in Poverty work at a very young age. Only rich families keep their kids in school. This is going to be a hard report. Just make sure he does not offend anyone in his report. I would have picked a different topic. With the situation right now everything can be offensive but, for the most part. Kids in Mexico help out way more than American kids. In Mexico its rare for a child to owns a PlayStation. Kids in Mexico are more active in outside activities. Mexican kids appreciate more. Over all Mexican kids are just as hard workers as the parents. They are filled with Chores and responsibilities.

Usually the website for the Department of Labor carries that kind of stuff.  Is a U.S. gov't site, so should be the most reliable you could get?

The previous posters are partially correct. It depends on the state you live in. Check out this link and find the minimum age you need to be according to Child Labor Laws in your state.\n\nhttp://www.dol.gov/esa/programs/whd/state/agriemp2.htm

We would build a jumbo cart that could hold many kids and put lawnmower wheels on it or bigger wheels if we could find it and a bunch of us kids would hop on and some would take turns pushing it down the hill....it had a steering wheel of course -taken from a scrap car...and reflectors for that matter. Later on we learned how to put lights on it hooked up to a car battery. We built tree houses and my dad helped us run the wires to have electricity (we didn't have water though)lol We played a lot of ball games and if we didn't have a ball handy we would just use a 500ml juice box rinsed out and squashed.... condensed milk cans attached to a string made for a nice racket if you walked it down a bumpy rocky unpaved street...steel drums made for good 'pan' drums and I can play quite nicely on a good set of pots and pans thank you very much :-) I'm a girl but I was the biggest tomboy ever...I always thought guy things were more fun and toy trucks etc were pretty easy to build. (I designed and made a working car engine for a full size car at 16) Today kids are stuck in front of video games and don't use their imagination or get physical exercise nearly as much as we did. I don't know what intellivision is and I've heard of Atari but never played it-granted I live in a different country from you and also grew up in another country where there was no Atari etc.

look under employment on their web-page. Most places hire provided you have working papers, but you may not be able to work after 9pm or full time. Sucks for a kid looking for summer employment.

as i understand it,it is going to be an attempt by the wetbacks to boycott primarily buying merchandise.maybe work too.i don't see how it will affect your kids.

I would check with local employers about whether they would consider hiring someone that young... even with working papers most employers will only hire someone 16+, there are so many restrictions on employers of minors that a lot of them will not do it just because of the hassle.

there prity much has always been child labor. But it was usaly just parents working there kids on the farm or something.\n\nI think you might wana check but the actual earlest I can think of where children where used as labor force by some one other than there parets... I think some slave children where used as servents in egypt, not 100% sure though.

It's called child sweat shops... we are so greedy to get money, we expliot any other nation we can paying as low as possible to do it, so we can have even more money. \nThey work up to 12 hours a day, for pennies, while the U.S. company sells their products for a huge profit.\nBut, according to Republican's they should just be happy to have jobs... hahaha... nice excuse to expliot a people.

Please donate to Bangladesh because you will stop child labor and it will help them to go to school. Some of them are as Little as 12 or 13 years old and works in garments factory. That's because the government even don't have any better plan for them.

I saw a sign on the way in this morning that said:\n"Illegals want the same rights as citizens"  That is want they think they are going to get.  By the way, I saw at least 50 day laborers in front of our local Home Depot.\nMaybe they think a boycott is something a young male child sleeps on.
