Perhaps...look to the reasons why these kids need or want to work? If there is a reasonable need then address this need with a safe national work program suited to meet the requirements of the law. There is an abundance of kid chore types of work available all around the country that can be accomplished by 10 to 18 year olds that's going undone. Appointment some child advocates to start a six month pilot project with a YMCA or other youth support group and the goals should be to employ at least 100 children safely while providing classes in financial budgeting and investment strategies to meet their needs. The program needs to report weekly on there scheduled progress and leadership replaced if goals are not met...run it like a business...in small business goals have to be met unlike big business bailouts small businesses fail people are unemployed and the consequences are real for those what is high risk small business leadership positions. Very important aspect of the program would be to keep greedy individuals out of any leadership our management position. This can be accomplished by a leadership committee of 3 unquestionably honest Walter Cronkite types of individuals given common sense authority over the operation. Funding would come from private sources interested in embetterment of the country's youth.

Or they’ve been injured and denied welfare or welfare is not sufficient to maintain support of the household. The solution is to make poverty wages illegal.
