It is sadly not a satire article and comment section there has taken it quite seriously as well.

I would have posted an archive.org snapshot instead but the latter refuses to crawl the site due to pay wall restrictions.

Ok read the article and the writer is arguing that the 1933 Children and Young Persons Act needs updating as it got a kid that was working in the family food truck removed from his job as a chef and seems to have silly standards for what is or is not acceptable jobs.

Honestly this is not even something the onion would have written
