    It used to be 14yrs9mths, I think they actually increased it to 15 a while ago didn't they?

    But there are other exceptions - like paper route sort of things, that younger children can do, so there must be leeway in there somewhere...

    There is a just 11 year old girl working at the grocery here - she was 10 when she started which I thought was illegal.
