    Is working as a bait kid child labor?

    Hi, First post. Joined to ask this question. This is a theoretical, provoked by kids used by parents to make money on YouTube. If a kid is put on the street by parents who are career confidential informants as bait for offenders, long-term, without pay, with possible other aggravating factors...
