He wrote in the post that his son had gotten a part-time job at Burger King. He goes on to talk about his son’s inspirational work ethic as the teen works every single day of the week, even on weekends. Saying that while other children his age were “enjoying their summer,” his son was making an honest living and he could not be more proud of him.

Others think it is much too young for a child to be so concentrated on work. The child should be a child in their eyes; not worrying about his work! These are formative years that they should enjoy by being a kid, according to some netizens.

The minimum working age in the United States is 14 years old for non-agricultural jobs. The hours children under 16 are allowed to work are also restricted by the government. The law also prohibits employing youths under 18-years-old for hazardous professions.

People were concerned about the young boy considering his father stated he works seven days a week! But according to Crawford’s post, the job is what makes his son very happy. And his son can be seen smiling in the pictures he has posted of him in his Burger King uniform.
