I’m assuming that Frank’s father is there with him - exploiting his own son and forcing him into child labor. I hope someone has called the authorities, and the wheels are in motion to make lawn mowing by children illegal.

These are the same people who try to close down lemonade stands.

[KarlInOhio]

Did the same people complain about kids being drafted to work on Michelle Obama’s collective farm?

[Dr. Ursus]

I guess the kid had to black or brown?

[circlecity]

I read that the kid volunteered to cut the lawn. Thus, anything he received for it was a gratuity or gift. The labor laws don’t even come into play.

“Greenhouse attempted to defend himself by citing his extensive experience in writing about child labor law violations and the danger of children being injured by machinery. From a high level perspective I suppose there’s something to that. I’m not sure we should be hiring eleven year olds to run industrial stamping machines or tunnel grinders, but we’re talking about a lawnmower here.”

I don’t give a rat’s patoot what experience he has in writing about child labor laws and injuries. I want to know if he’s ever pushed a lawnmower.

Besides which in the report I read the kid was under adult supervision.

Man, these morons are so predictable. We should troll them every chance we get. It’s just too funny.

[syriacus]

Greenhouse could have done something smart and useful.

He could have referred to the “Top Ten Mower Safety Tips” at

https://www.familyhandyman.com/landscaping/top-ten-mower-safety-tips/view-all/

But Greenhouse prefers to be an alarmist, referring to statistics that include mower injuries to kids who are 2 yo and 4 yo and kids who don’t wear decent shoes, or eye and ear protection,.

Not more child labor exploitation!

Language warning, but good stuff:

Allowing children to learn a work ethic and also to learn that work is a great importance in life cuts across the desires of the progressive welfare statist. Kids are supposed to learn to avoid work. Our entire education system is designed to inculcate a distaste for work

[SGCOS]

Yeah, and I bet the blade was dull too!!

Lock him up!

I grew up in the town that Frank is from. Mowing yards for $2 a pop and shoveling snow, $1 a sidewalk and $2 a driveway was what we kids did for extra money.

[fella]

Nothing exposes a bad law, in this case child labor, like its enforcement.

John would have no problem having an illegal Mexican coolie mow his lawn though.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

This kid is safer than me when I mowed lawns as a kid. I never wore safety goggles. I never saw adults having a lawn business when I was a kid. Those jobs were all either done by the home owner or by a neighborhood kid. Sign of the times...

Back when George W Bush had had the surge initiative in the Iraq war, Leftwing media outlets who had been making a huge deal about the rising death toll every night were faced with a quandary. The “surge” was causing the death rate to go down. But this might be interpreted as a Republican doing a good job...so they had to find a way to spin it...and one of the ways they tried...I kid you not...was a sob story about poor coffin makers in Iraq who were getting less business due to the reduction in deaths.

[nicollo]

I have a scar on my left palm from when my mom let me cut the grass w/ a push mower when I was five. Probably not the best idea, but both mom and I learned a little about laws of physics and how accident prone I was (many cuts/stiches throughout childhood... it’s called “ADHD” nowadays).

God bless mom: we were never on a leash, we learned our own limits, and yes, sometimes bad things happened, but for each of those events a lesson was learned.

Meanwhile, the idiots like this NYT pu$$y who think that lawn mowers are a menace to 10 year olds would have those precious children chemically and physically mutilated to change their sexual identities. THAT is scary.

Thanks for posting this story, SeekAndFind.

You know, the more I think about it, the prouder I am that Trump brought this kid to the White House to mow his lawn.

There's something so noble about this. And when you see Trump giving the kid a high-five. Now that's a President who is a LEADER!

That kid symbolizes the American Dream. If the millenials get jobs and learn to work the great American system, that's all we need to worry about. MAGA will be fulfilled when the impediments to the American Dream are thrown out, taxes some down -- it's all part of returning America to what it was when we were young.

Today at the UN, Trump spoke to kings... but he has never lost the common touch.
