“we have a tremendous responsibility “......to hire Children to make our Apple products. =)

The employees in Apple's supply chain run from 18 to 32 years old, for the most part. . . if children are found working, Apple's contract requires the employer to PAY for their education through age 25. That is quite an incentive to NOT hire underage workers.
