Eh? What country has a king and child labour?
The US has child labor (several "red" states that have pushed for younger work ages), and one party is actively working on the King part.
I mean the point of the article is that these are companies violating the law. Child labor is neither legal or common in the US.
In the US you can work when you turn 15 if you get permission from your parents and a school guidance counselor.
15? Apparently, the lowest minimum age is 9, and one state doesn't have a minimum age. Use the handy little map on this site to find those gems and some other interesting tidbits!
Cambodia does have measurable child labour and a king.
Hmm. What about lead utensils?
Ontario recently legalized high school students dropping out and getting a full time job before graduating.
Was it illegal for people to work before age 18 previously?
Full time jobs that take them out of school, yeah.
Florida is currently trying to roll back child labor laws so children can work construction and roofing
Wasn't the king crowned last year?
Pretty sure the UK doesn't have children working in factories.
US has child labor, UK has a king.
I suppose it doesn't need to be your king, although it is implied.
And they did give an entire town lead poisoning.
Most of the clothing you buy is made by children.
