Young engineer launches stair aid

I seem to remember that a similar enterprising young woman who made myspace designs who almost or did have all of her money (~1million) taken from her by the state because of something about child labor laws, taxes or something.

I would just keep this sort of detail (her age) as quiet as possible, if I was her.

I don't think that's a problem in this case, the article says she was 16, and it's legal to work at 16.

In the UK it's legal to work below 16, but you can only be employed legally for a limited amount of hours. Self-employment doesn't have those restrictions, and you don't pay taxes either (until you turn 16).

I wonder how much money she made with that afterwards as it seems not to be doing so well now.
