Title: Obama Administration Pulls Rule On Child Farm Labor

(Reuters) - An Obama administration proposal to restrict child labor on farms has been withdrawn after criticism from agricultural groups.

The rules, which were supported by child labor advocates, would have banned children younger than 16 from using most power-driven farm equipment, including tractors, if they had not taken a training course.

The proposal also would have prevented those younger than 18 from working in feed lots, grain bins and stockyards.

The Labor Department said it had received thousands of comments about the rule and its effect on small family-owned farms.

"As a result, the Department of Labor is announcing today the withdrawal of the proposed rule dealing with children under the age of 16 who work in agricultural vocations," it said in a statement posted on its website on Thursday.

The departments of Labor and Agriculture will work with such organizations as the American Farm Bureau Federation and the 4-H farm youth group to develop programs to reduce accidents for young workers, it said.

Bob Stallman, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, welcomed the move, calling it "the right decision for our nation's family-based agriculture system."

But Reid Maki, coordinator for the Child Labor Coalition, said the rules had been aimed at protecting children drawing wages and did not apply to children working on their parents' farms.

Farm work is the most dangerous sector for young workers and pulling the proposed rule could mean another 50 to 100 deaths over the next decade, he said.

"We think they (the rules) were really well designed and would have saved some lives," he said.

An injury could make a child dependent on government for the rest of his life.

LoonyMing: An injury could make a child dependent on government for the rest of his life.

CZ, it would appear that loonyming actually prefers people to not know how to work, so they can be dependant on the government for the rest of their lives....

In other words, the miniscule risk of injuries outweighs having a productive society.

Hmmm... by that logic, can we therefore conclude that nobody should eat, because people sometimes choke on food?

By that logic, can we conclude that we should outlaw all internal combustion engines, to make everyone walk wherever they go (after all, 50,000 people die in car accidents each year! Gasp!)

And so on...

Seems to me there are certain things that we must and need to do, like eating, but we as a society have decided that children are not as mature as adults and therefore are more prone to errors in judgement and thus make more mistakes. I, like lucysmom, believe this a good example of something that is an unnecessary risk and think it would be appropriate to restrict children from doing potentially dangerous tasks that might result in harm.

There are myriad child-labor laws, as well as OSHA standards, which cover this issue.

Perhaps you and loony should talk about something of which you have knowledge of, instead of talking out your asses.

Putz.

Driving a tractor is potentially dangerous. I don't see why a training requirement for a child is asking for too much.

So is riding a bicycle or mowing the lawn.

You're expecting them to apply a modicum of common sense.

Your expectations are... unrealistic.
