We read the local laws and it said that employers should not have kids working during school hours unless they were doing alternate schooling.

I don’t believe this kid is doing alternate school because the kid said “I can’t work tomorrow because my teacher’s coming to check in on me”.

Do we ask the employer if they know they are employing a teenager who’s skipping school? Do we leave a review? We didn’t ask the kid their age so I will do that first if I see them again, not sure if there are other questions to ask.

Obviously we don’t want to tarnish anyone’s reputation unnecessarily but this is a very serious matter.

I live in a developed country (free healthcare, etc). There is poverty in my country but not this city particularly.

    Yes it’s legal in my region for kids to work under 18, what’s not legal is for them to skip school to work.
