Child Labor Laws Questioned, Holzschlag Says “Start ‘em Young”
In late-breaking news it has been learned that Web standards advocate and educator Molly E. Holzschlag has been found using what appears to be child labor to help solve Web site issues. Here, we see a photo of Holzschlag’s youngest team member, who at 7 months old is hard at work:
“Lil’ P” has advanced skills in HTML, CSS and even is apparently learning some JavaScript. Despite his age, Holzschlag is confident that educating front end developers from early childhood does not equate to mistreatment toward children.
“If anything, starting children in computer technology this young is going to assist in innovative and rapid advancement of our industry. Start ‘em young, and train them right, and a lot of the mistakes we’ve made will be avoided in the future.”
While Holzschlag insists Lil’ P is well provided for, his father, Big P, expresses his own concerns:
“The problem as I see it is that Lil’ P was always a bit big for his britches, and now he’s speeding far past old dad here. How can I effectively raise my child when I can’t even understand the words he uses? Frankly, while the public might question child labor laws for the safety of the child, in a case like this I’m far more concerned about the parental mistreatment that will ensue.”
Clearly the subject of considerable controversy, when asked his opinion on the matter Lil’ P smiled, laughed, picked up a handful of mushy peas and smeared them all over his face. After significant analysis we are still uncertain whether this was a profound statement of Lil’ P’s sentiments on the matter, or if he was just ready for his mid-day snack.

Reminds me of a joke my mother used to tell – apparantly my first words were “Soldering Iron”
LoL, Good one Molly.
When my son was 4 months of age he started the go and ga. I saw this as his first attempts at communication. Now he is four and he very stubborn. My Dad told me something very wise a few nights ago. Even though my son bugs my Dad dearly with his strong will, he love seeing it since the he knows that no one will get the better of him. As I say (maybe quoting my father), teach them young and you learn a lot from your children in return.
Damn…this makes me want to have more kids!
I heard a rumour he’s being headhunted by Clear Left… honest. Or was that Adaptive Path?
I have my 10 year old doing my Photoshop work while my 7 year old does most of the technical writing for me. Me? I micro-manage.

Very cute! And I agree start ‘em young. I got Jaryth going at age 1 month. He’s almost ready to start his own design firm now at 4 months. [smile]
Kids should play with computers and technic, but the must learn the real life and the nature around first. Its interesting … kids playing computers will learn easy to calculate und solve problems. Give the kids a hand.
