It takes nothing to get a work permit. It takes even less to turn away a very underaged person who is required to have a work permit.
This could all be avoided and be a non issue if people just followed the damned laws.

Be enrolled in school

Not under suspension or habitually truant

passing a majority of courses
For someone underage that NEEDS to work (especially 40 hour work weeks), I'm going to guess they don't have 1 or more of these things.
Pretending like those criteria are "nothing" is completely dismissing the very challenging situations some kids find themselves in.
