The Amish don't use modern machinery and know better than to let children use dangerous farm implements before they're able.

So the Amish can determine when a child is ready to use dangerous farm implements but the rest of us need the government to tell us when our kids are able?

This is my nephew. He is fourteen. He is being a dumb ass and got his ass chewed out for it. Kids do stupid things and stupid things can cost lives. I'm all for this legislation.
So, you think it's right to punish the populous because kids do dumb things?

Standing on horses should be punishable by the full extent of the law.

also: "prevent children under 18 from being employed in the storing, marketing and transporting of farm product raw materials." would prohibit that for under 18 in this example and also a ridiculous ammount of other unnessecary things...marketing? really?
The government won't protect you, it can't protect you, and it doesn't want to protect you. Common sense, you lack it. Why do you trust government so blindly? Do you work for them?

I have to quote George Carlin on this one "Shit, what ever happened to natural selection, survival of the fittest, the kid who swallows too many marbles doesn't grow up to have kids of his own."

Well the amish barn rasing tradition would actually be illegal under this, framing is not allowed for under 16 it says.

Yes the Amish know better than to give a child a pitchfork or an axe. Farm surveys indicate that the injury rate is highest among children age 15 and under and the highest number of fatalities are caused by tractors or other modern farm machinery. See the difference there? Do you care?

I think a law against 14 year olders even being within 15 feet of a horse should protect him.

How in the hell do you even know that the Amish have children under 16 doing a barn raising? Seriously? Are you saying the Amish have no common sense?

I don't. Get mad at the kids dads for not teaching them how to use the machinery properly!

How do you know they don't use axes' or pitchforks, I used these tools when I was 10 and I am not amish.... and guns.....and tractors. Never one incident.
The amish tradition is that the WHOLE FAMILY raises the barn...thats why I assume this..

Standing on a horse that can buck you off. Look where he is. how many items there do you think can impale him or hit his head on? That cap isn't going to protect his cranium. He is wearing boots without much traction. He could have slipped and fell and got possibly trampled from a startled horse. He was being an idiot and was told in no uncertain terms just how idiotic and dangerous it was.

Tractors and horses should be illegal.

I'm not sure I understand your point. Were these 3 and 4 year old children driving a tractor? Operating a saw? Storing grain in a bin? Cutting wood with an axe? Using a pitchfork? And come on, three and four? Really? I call bullshit.

Then we can just have the swat team roll around looking for horses via drones and checking if children are near them, if they find one they just throw them in a bodybag in the back of the van. Safety first.
