    Are you being serious?

    You go to a local playpark and whip your camera out - see if you can get some shots of 5 year olds on a swing and coming down the slide.

    You'll be lucky to get out alive.
    Quite possibly, but that doesn't address the legality of filming a child.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      If you don't film the child, how do the parents know to pay the ransom?

          So it's ok to get around trading laws by using kids. Sounds like something the drug paddlers have known for ages.

          Then again if their rules state you have to be 18 or over to get a licence then all those under 18 can trade without. So why do the school kids settle for a paper round, when they can just set up a stall selling whatever they want anywhere they want.
          Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

            Kid's doing paper-rounds? Pretty much no kid does a paper round these days for the simple fact that almost nobody get's a paper delivered anymore.

            Kid's don't do milk-rounds either for the same reason.

              They do in my area do paper rounds and kids do some of the deliveries.

                Same down here where it's mostly small towns and villages full or retirees still upholding the old traditions.

                Saw a paperboy just the other morning, though he may have been taking the postie's bicycle for a joy ride.

                  Why not fined the father instead of a 5 years child?

                    Actually they should have used a bit of common sense, it's a 5 year old girl making some pocket money, not a business. Absolutely pathetic
                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                      Yeah but how many?

                      In order for most kids ( 12 - 14?, I think I was that old when I did my round, 6 days a week, Saturday was the killer all the papers were twice as heavy ) to have a paper round, most people would need to have a paper delivered.

                      Since most people don't have a paper delivered, most kids cannot do a paper round.

                      It's simple supply and demand init?
