SUMMARY:Constructing American Childhood Author Talk: The Legal History of American Childhood
DESCRIPTION:The Legal History of American Childhood\n\nDid you know that an 
 eleven-year-old child can be charged with a federal crime while in many 
 states it’s illegal to leave a twelve-year-old home alone? 26 states 
 allow children younger than 16 to marry while the legal drinking age 
 remains 21. Are these age-based laws really protecting children\, and if 
 not\, why do they exist? More importantly\, how have these laws shaped 
 American childhood to the present day? Historian and author of Constructing 
 American Childhood: Age-Based Laws and the Illusion of Protection in the 
 Early United States\, Holly White will share the answers to these questions 
 through a history of America’s first age-based laws.   \n\nFind her on
