Legal Loophole In Rhode Island Allows 16 and 17 Year Olds To Work As Strippers

Allow me to REPEAT this one for the shock value alone...

Shouldn't be difficult to fix though. Just pass an amendment to the child labour law that lumps stripping in with manufacturing as an industry you need to be 18 to work in.

They only have a limited number of earning years, as do other sports professionals. Would be cool if R.I. became widely famous for it's kiddie strippers, a new tourist attraction.

I can see it now~~~~~~~The Minor League

Legislation has already been introduced to close the loophole and the strip club owners are in support of it. They don't need the hassles since they are having no trouble finding enough women 18 and older to strip for them.

For one thing, Shappy said, the poor economy has driven more women to the clubs' doors, searching for work.

"We have so many girls who want to work," Shappy said. "Housewives, college students, office workers, hairdressers. I have an LPN, and RN, a girl at the ticket counter at Green [Airport]."

every morning during the school year i see these girls walking to school in miniskirts, high heels and halter tops. most of these girls go to school dressed like that to attract boys who knock'em up. then they drop out. if they can dress like sluts and take it off for cash instead of kids,and choose to drop out of school, at least these girls will be earning an income and paying taxes. maybe not procreating...or doing drugs......it kinda makes sense why this loophole would be ok'd in the country's 3rd most unemployed state, crime and teen pregnancy, drug use and dunkin donuts abound.

Sure, justify it as tent pole manufacturing.

16-17 is hardly kiddie.

They are driving cars and partying with booze and drugs at that age.

i wasn't!

More stupid shit. If you can't go into the place as a customer, how can you work there?

It's not like an nc-17 movie theater where you can go with your parents permission.

oh and just for form:

all your 16 and 17 year old strippers are belong to me.

if its legal its legal
what is the problem
