    It’s cute that you think I’m talking about murder. Triangle Shirtwaist fire. Children in mines and mills. Children in factories. Children on farms. Children in retail. These are all areas of labor that have killed, maimed, and injured children. These kids were never murdered, they were hurt and killed in accidents that occurred because they were too young to handle the conditions of labor that was demanded of them. Fuck you for advocating for children to return to that type of labor.

      Kids routinely get hurt (and sometimes killed) just playing. As long as they’re not getting more seriously hurt more often at a job than regular activities, I don’t see what the issue is, at all.
