1 Not condoning any of this -- but on the other hand, what other option available if you aren't qualified for other kinds of work?

School Attendance Laws and Child Labor Laws prevent them from acquiring any employable skills in the Law-Abiding Economy.

In the old days, teenaged boys were apprenticed out to sea. Or to a factory. Or to a farm. Or they consented to Indentured Servitude.
