I agree with you in principal, but it is almost impossible for a 15 year old to get any type of paying job in Omaha (where the woman in the this article and I live). The two older ones should definetly be working though.
It obviously was a slow news day at the Weird-Herald.
Have to disagree. I live in Omaha, and my 15 year-old daughter had a choice between 2 jobs that she was offered, both working in grocery stores for minimum wage plus.
The jobs are there if the kids go looking for them.
How about babysitting like all the other 13 year old girls around the country are doing? Granted, she wouldn’t get the big bucks the kids get in the suburbs, but even 3 bucks an hour is better than zero. She could even do it in her mother’s apartment, since Mom’s home.
