Kids need to learn responsibility from a young age. Tough love and chores don't hurt, even though the kid will let you know that they certainly are indeed dying from the work. 😁

This depends on country

without consent and against their will.

Then that would apply to non child also.

When someone wants the state to have more power.

Things like that should be examined case by case.

One rule of thumb is that it must not harm the child in any capacity. And the child's basic needs and rights must be provided.

I think it's at least a missed opportunity if they do not help around the farm

I would say it's especially bad if it curtails their growth and prevents them from discovering and expanding into their chosen potential. It is also not fair if the family's livelihood strongly depends on the child, as this would create pressure and stress that they are not equipped to deal with

It is “bad” when the child is not working directly for the family.

Most states exempt child labor from family farms and retail businesses.

Acting has rules, requiring a parent to be present and limiting the number of hours “on set” and requiring certain amount of daily schooling.

When the work is a net negative to the child. Light farm work can be fun and healthy for a child and beneficial to the family. Just don't make the 8y/o chuck bales of hay. Keep him in the garden pulling weeds and harvesting peppers, or throwing flakes of hay to the goats and sheep.

Child acting and fame can be psychologically damaging to a child, even if the casting couch issue is solved (by #millstones?).

Perhaps when the persons who manage the child’s work are not the parents of the child.

It’s bad when a child is learning a skill that will eventually make them independent and the government indoctrination “schools” obsolete.

Same as with adult labor :) when it exhausts and gives no enjoyment, sense of fulfilment or at least satisfaction in the end. And I think when a child is not given a choice but forced or manipulated to do sth.
