Hooray for child labor!
Volunteering.
... if that's your standard than a kid cleaning their room or doing their homework would be Child Labor.
Oh shit! Do you think it's too late to dig up my dad and prosecute him???
The Vatican did it to several Popes, so there may be precedent
Follow your heart.
Yeah! I bet he'll never tell me to clean my room again when I'm done with him!
It's one thing to do household chores and keep your home clean. It's a totally different thing to organize and arrange such a huge project at such a young age.
A project dealing with volatile chemicals no less. Is he even certified to handle or process hazardous materials?
How is this child labor? The kid pursued a passion project.
You're right. But this is regarding bulk handling and processing of potentially hazardous materials. I don't think you can even be hazmat certified at such an age, at least where I'm from..
Who is profiting?
