If you hire someone that is under 16, they can only work until 8 or 9, and they can only work a few hours at a time.

It's pretty much illegal to give someone under 16 a job, or a "real" job because of child labor laws. So some places give jobs to 15 year olds, but the laws are so strict even they can't work more than about 15-20 hours a week, so most places won't even bother with you until you're 16. \nTry getting a job helping out a parent, babysitting, or start selling things on ebay.\n\nps. I'm from Texas too :D, cept the DFW area, originally Houston.

Nope.\nSoon all manufactoring will be done in Chinese sweatshops and the Chinese government has implemented a 1 kid per family ratio when the demand for cheaper child labour will soon be at an alltime high?\nShesh....

China must stop employing children as laborers because it is child exploitation and they must be studying at schools.

Send the illegal immigrants back to their countries. That's where many of our child workers come from, right? I also think we need stricter penalties for abusing child labor. i.e. boss who keeps 16 year old past his working limit should be fined.

Child Labor: An employee must be at least 16 years old to work in most non-farm jobs and at least 18 to work in non-farm jobs declared hazardous by the Secretary of Labor.

Trafficking in human beings is the commercial trade ("smuggling") of human beings, who are subjected to involuntary acts such as begging, sexual exploitation (eg. prostitution and forced marriage), or unfree labour (eg. involuntary servitude or working in sweatshops). Trafficking involves a process of using physical force, fraud, deception, or other forms or coercion or intimidation to obtain, recruit, harbour, and transport people.

Supply and demand.  There are a ton of people (i.e. large supply) that have the skillset to be a child care worker.  \n\nIf you don't feel you are compensated fairly, find a competitor to your company that is willing to pay you more.  At the end of the day, you're basically going to get paid for your skill set, work effort, etc.  If you're unhappy, you may want to consider getting more/different skills that will make you qualified for a higher paying job.

It's called "employment."

Spanking a kid of any age is child abuse.

First, child labor is a fact of life, as it means the difference between hunger and food. If the parents are affluent enough, the children need not work but that requires the parents being able to earn sufficient to support the family. All parents want their children to be educated and prosper, but the hard reality is that much of the world lives at poverty or border-line poverty and the kids have to pitch in. I live in Asia and child-labor is common, but it is not the sweat-shops where illegals are literally chained to their jobs. It is more of a family effort to keep the wolves from the door. One boy I know rises at 5 am and plucks chickens until 8 am then hurries home to get ready for school...and gets no pay, but his family has managed in this way to send two others to the university. His turn will come because of the family effort and child labor...he is 11 years old. They are paid about 20 cents US for each chicken and universities are not cheap. Do-gooder attitudes are fine if you have money. As we say in China, 'No money, No talk'. Even aged grandfathers and grandmothers take part in making ends meet. Middle-class morality is a luxury that few of the third world countries can afford.

If this is in relation to the UK... I don't know much about this directly, but my ex-wife is a child-care solicitor who works for a Local Authority as Head of Legal and she is always referring to the Children's Act.  Not sure if that will tell you what you need to know, but it will give you an understanding of the legal framework that works around children in the UK and the obligations and behvaiours you can expect from the relevant agencies.  I think that would be my starting point to dig into this.  I've attached a couple of links to the Act and a related site that might help.  Sorry I can't be of more use, but I hope that gets you going.  :)
