A 12-year-old is hired by a cosmetics factory to operate a high‑speed chemical mixer to blend cosmetic ingredients from 7:00 PM to 1:00 AM, five days a week. The minor’s parents were not informed, no safety training was provided, and no PPE was supplied. The owner labels the arrangement as an “apprenticeship program” and keeps pressuring overtime to meet production targets. The minor develops dermatitis and headaches and misses several school days. The owner asserts the arrangement is ordinary employment and that RA 7610 does not regulate such employment. (a) Under Republic Act No. 7610, as amended, is this employment arrangement exploitative of a child? (b) If exploitative, who may be liable and what penalties or remedies could attach under the statute?

Choose the Best Answer

Yes; the so‑called apprenticeship program would be a defense if it is officially registered with DOLE and the minor’s duties are strictly within the program’s training components. Yes; liability rests primarily with the parent/guardian who permitted the child to work without consent, while the employer’s liability is limited. No; RA 7610 does not apply to work framed as an apprenticeship in a factory when the worker is a minor. Yes; RA 7610 protects children from exploitation in employment, and employing a 12-year-old in a hazardous chemical operation without parental consent, safety training, or PPE is exploitative; the employer and any supervising officers may be liable, with penalties including imprisonment and fines, plus protective and remedial measures for the child.
