I always took it that when my ex wanted me to take the boys it was because she wanted some peace and quite. And, if he needs to learn to drive, then driving is the only way to do it. It ain't a textbook deal.
I take it by working Karren is putting her family first. Lots of jobs are not very family friendly, and taking your kid to work is not always an option. After all, if the company wanted you to have kids you could get them on the same form you order pens and paper on.
And.... What happens if something happens? What happens to that kid if something goes way wrong while Karren is down in the mine? (and anything going wrong in a mine is going to be way wrong.) That is something she must - and I'm sure she had - considered also.
Aside from it being against the OHSA standards, the company rules and all that, one big problem with taking my kids to work with me is that I was not done till 3/4 am for the most part. That seemed like a bit much for a 15 year old. It should go without saying that there were other reasons not to let a 15 year old hang out backstage with rock bands.
