None of those are contracts. Not even if you do your christian tricks and play around with words does that make it a contract. It would be a contract if the child was supplied with the shirt and agreed to pay the money in installments, a simple exchange is NOT a contract. If the child was supplied with a meal on the condition that he worked for the meal at a later date then it would be illegal.
Quote:Only problem is you're wrong. The law requires that ID be produced for buying knives - you have to be at least 16 (legally a child) - you also need to produce ID to buy/hire an MA rated movie or game or see an MA rated film in the cinema - you have to be at least 15. So in both these instances the vendor knows the age of the customer. FYI the vender is often represented by children 14 and over too - if you buy your cup of coffee from a 14 year old he's completing the contract - if a 14 year old buys one from a 14 year old, if a 15 year old buys a movie ticket from a 14 year old, etc, they're all entering into contracts with no adult intervention.

No because they are not contracts. I realise it is impossible for you to understand the nature of a contract and you will try every stupid rhetorical trick to back up your claim that your examples are contracts. Even if an Australian lawyer explained in detail why these were not contracts you would still continue to argue they were because you are a christian and cannot be convinced by facts.
Quote:What about bank accounts, how are children allowed to have bank accounts?
They aren;t allowed to borrow money. They can have a deposit account.
Quote:Children enter into contracts all the time.
Not legally
