That's so fukking sad, his lungs would be completely fukked by the time he was 7.


Current Supreme Court probably on the verge of ruling that child labor laws violate people's Right to Work.
snippet:
The chimney sweeps were not given any type of respiratory equipment or protective clothing. They suffered many health problems because of their constant exposure to soot and because of the unnatural positions they were in so much of the time. Work-related health problems included: deformed ankles, twisted kneecaps, twisted spines, inflammatory eye syndrome, and respiratory illnesses. The first industrial disease in history was suffered by young chimney sweeps. Chimney sweeps in their adolescence often suffered and died from Chimney Sweep Cancer, a horribly painful and fatal cancer of the scrotum.

The chimney sweeps also frequently suffocated inside the chimneys from breathing the soot. Sometimes they got stuck and died in the narrow chimneys. Many also died after falling or were killed or injured from burns.

Anyone over 40 knows that use to be us. :manny: Kids would go to stores for their parents at young ages all the time. I don't know what happened but a new generation of parents would do things like send their kids to shopping malls for Halloween versus letting them go in the neighborhood. Thinking while typing, I guess people using child protective services against neighbors a while ago helped change the flexibility parents gave kids.

Parents are overprotective nowadays. Kids don’t even wait at the bus stop alone anymore. It’s funny cuz crime was worse back in the day.
