How long before abusive parents start charging their 11 year old rent?
No they didn't. They repealed the tedious process of obtaining work permits for 14-15 year old's. The laws regulating what a 14-15 year old can do remain unchanged, just as there are separate laws regulating what 16-17 year old's can do, and they've never been required to get a work permit. The act of getting a work permit does not protect the child, it simply adds red tape and discourages 14 year old's from working ~10 hours a week on week-ends, as I did at that same age.
