Children used to work in coal mines. They can handle delivering curry to an apartment building by bicycle. Children were the original riders back when they delivered newspapers to homes, on bikes.

Are you aware of why we stopped letting the children work in the mines? Like, where do you draw the line on the expendability of a child's life?

Get in touch with your local school and ask if they can send a boy round, like they did in the good old days. See how you get on?

People are coming to realize how many rights have been taken away from children after decades of progressive policy side effects. Schools have been complicit and aren't going to be solicited for their input. They're going to be changed as well.

The right to injure yourself is a very costly right for the society - assuming you have a working health insurance system in place. So I expect the society having a say on it as well, in form of laws and regulations...

Reality check is that those coal mines children had high mortality, suffered life long injuries and no future at all.

You could have picked example of child employment that does not harm, but somehow you picked the one that had done significant damage to them.

I should have picked something other than the worst job imaginable. It came to mind because it was very hard labor.
