I think the downvotes are because that kid looks a lot younger than 14, so this sentiment does not apply here.
I also don’t have a problem with kids working jobs, but it has to be under very controlled circumstances to avoid exploitation. It’s important to remember that children can’t enter contracts (which is a requirement of any employment), and for good reason.
I think as well that the recent spike in news stories about kids being killed at jobs they shouldn’t have been working in the first place is behind a lot of the sentiment here, so arguing that kids should be allowed to work while ignoring that context isn’t going to be received well.

That’s exactly how I looked at 14. Internet detectives don’t know jack shit
Case in point ^
No it isn’t. 14 is legal age to work in most US states
Yeah I’m saying you’re on the Internet and also don’t know shit
