If you mean at a minimum wage job, a child has to be at least 14 to work.
If the child is under 14, can you just pay their parents and the parents can pass the money on to the child?
The work I need done is very boring and monotonous, but has to be done precisely or the whole project is useless.
I figure a 12-year old might think $8 per hour is a lot of money and would be motivated to do the project correctly, whereas the only older people willing to do work that cheaply probably aren't very good employees.
But I'm on a limited budget and I can't afford to pay much above minimum wage.

Sure. You can do whatever you want. It's not legal, but you didn't ask that.

Brilliant thinking.

Sounds like a personal problem.
You go around being snarky with other posters and this is your thinking? Are you serious?

Sounds like you would be better off just doing it yourself then.

It's hundreds of hours of work. It isn't possible for 1 person to do all of it. Those hundreds of hours of work feed into other, more difficult tasks that I will do myself.
Go ahead and do it. They have wi-fi in jail right?
Is the penalty actually jail time?
I thought it might just be a $1,000 fine or something.
