I believe, if I child wants to work when he is 10 or up, he should be allowed. They are reliable and I do not understand why it is against the law. I am 12 years old, nearly 13, and I am devasted that we cannot work to earn money so we can purchase things with it. It honestly baffles me. There's a holiday camp quarter of a mile from my house and my sister (who is 15) works there, and I wish very much I could join her, because she can buy lots of clothes. I am saving up for an Xbox 360 but when I get that doesn't mean I will quit my job. I want to work also because my parents complain I don't get out a lot. I'm not that active but I am intelligent, having 2 letters home from the school, one saying I was academically gifted, and the other saying that I was the top of my class in English and how well I was performing in the subject. I am certainly mature enough to earn a job and I think most 10 year olds are. So if your children are pestering you for cash and they are 10-13, sign this petition today and we will be a step closer to stop 10-13 year olds pleading for money. Not only will they be out and about, but they will be earning their OWN money. Once there is enough signatures, I will send this parliment and ask them to put this law into action. Thank you for reading. Please sign this petition.

my 11 year old is constantly asking for money for games. he would work if he could and honestly it would teach him some responsibility instead of just sitting on the couch all day.
