There are so many children working under the table everywhere. Here in the US, I've been to a bunch of hole in the wall restaurants where kids were taking or running orders. Usually they are family, but not always.

If the children are going to school and have decent social lives, I'm not sure what the harm is, especially if they _want_ to work so that they can buy their own things.

FWIW I started (legally) working after-school shifts when I turned 13. One manager tried to convince me to skip a final exam so I could provide shift coverage. That manager was an idiot.
