6. Do laws against child labor specify that there's a special exemption

Edited on Thu Dec-23-10 02:17 PM by Boojatta

allowing a child to be forced to work if custody of the child was paid for?

If so, then after those laws were first enacted and they began to be enforced, a whole category of children lacked protection from the law. Don't you think that was or would have been unfortunate? Why not put all children under the umbrella of legal protection?
