Kids today age 10 are still deciding whether they're gonna be a boy or a girl..

Ya back in the good ole' days! They don't need no education from that book learning lady.

was he moon lighting from his usual job as a chimney sweep

Don't really get the comments thinking this is a good thing. There's a difference between over zealous bureaucracy and overprotection on the one hand and sending a 10 year old child steeplejacking on the other. I'd wager few would offer to do that job themselves and fewer still would send their children up that ladder. With good reason.

[@tonyalways7174]

Did the boy look unhappy climbing the ladder?

[@dav01kar]

Dont judge from a world very different from todays

[@fringestream990]

Kids playing video games and over eating is far worse and dangerous than this.

[@golangismyjam]

None of these people have ever been up a ladder before. It’s a simple case of they have no idea about the danger and risk as well as being poorly educated.

[@someonegetsteve]

He never "worked" as a steeplejack while he was a boy, he's in school uniform, this is done as a lark for the cameras and he has a safety harness on. His parents actually cared about his education and his life. It's only people today think it's a good idea to send 10 year old to work as a steeplejack to be internet tough guys and prove "kids these days as all weak". They brought in laws against child labor because children were used as a cheap, expendable workforce, if one died you could just get another from a poor desperate family.

Dennis Green. aged 14. a steeplejack, overbalanced and fell 63ft. to the ground

[@MagicVato]

At least this kids not stuck in the house playing Fortnite..

[@Del-yv1qy]

Kids today cry about everything.

[@johnroddy8756]

Some society to allow a kid risk his life.If he fell they all find excuses to blame the parents.

[@arlenmargolin1650]

I see no problem with a 10 year old kid being a staple Jack but I think it's a little stupid allowing him to do carnival tricks up in the air hanging on to things and playing games up there

[@TheRealFOSFOR]

Well.. If he were to fall to his death, you could ask yourself. Was it the right thing to let him do this job at that age considering he could have had a long life before deciding what he really wants to do for a living. I mean, every child has crazy ideas about what he/she wants to be, but they should have time to really see the world and understand what choices they have.

[@bcfcbennjy99]

No problem with a 10 year old being a steeple jack? I bet you long for the return of the workhouse too.

[@carlhurley2456]

He was hooked in, Daddy even showed that before he started to climb. You also see him on the top of the ladder hook in again so he can loose the ladder.

[@andrewcox2810]

I bet everyone’s mother having a blue vinager fit.

[@donarmstrong6247]

You can either do that job or you can’t no room for errors,!!! Ten out of ten for him not something for today’s youngsters though

[@markgraham1109]

Good viewing.

I wonder if Dennis Green is still alive 🤔 😳 👀

[@batman47751]

Wonder what happened to him

[@lestrem11]

He fell 2 seconds later , tragic....

[@markrushton3362]

I wonder if he went on as a steeplejack

[@johnbockelie3899]

Some families back then worked in trapeze acts in the circus. These people are steeple jacks.

[@martymartin2894]

Correct one as crazy as the other but at least steeplejacks done important work.

[@wallsendfrog]

Imagine doing that in a dress for equal pay eh

[@golangismyjam]

Guaranteed you have never climbed a ladder before of any significant height. You would not say wearing a dress wouldn’t make a difference. Stick to what you know and people won’t think you are an idiot. Js

@@dzlf2504 I can remember being 6 years old working with my father doing all sorts of things that a 6 year old should definitely not have done but to this day I've done everything from steeplejacking to roofing in a painter for ever of worked on so many jobs I can't count but I believe if you start young it makes it way easier as you grow into it
