Introduction
In 1916 the Keating Owen Child Labor Act regulated and made illegal to labor children under age. It protected children's rights and it fully demolished by law for anyone to employ a minor under the age of 16. The act outlawed the sale of products made by children from any factory or shop under the age of 14, from any mine that employed children under age of 16 and from any other source that had child laborers under 16 that worked at night or for more than 8 hours during the day.
