For The Parent
A young person you look after has started a small business, and they named you as the adult beside them. That is worth knowing before anything else: they chose you.
They are old enough to do this, and old enough to run it themselves. Here is what that looks like from where you are standing.
Their words, their prices and their hours, exactly as they wrote them, at their own address for anybody to read. Nobody sits on their account but them — your name and email are held here, shown to nobody, for the one night it matters.
Anything at all about a person on this site reaches somebody who reads it and answers. That is a person rather than a form.
A neighbour writes to them and they answer for themselves. They can show you any of it whenever they like, and that is their choice to make rather than ours to make for them.
They are running this. The person running it decides who reads it, and a fifteen-year-old is old enough to make that call.
They decide what they charge, and they keep every dollar of it. LocaLilly asks them for ten dollars a month to be here and takes none of what they earn.
A young person who set their own price holds it when somebody asks them to drop it. One handed to them goes at the first push.
Every sentence on their page was written by them, and nobody edits it — including us.
Young people here are fifteen to eighteen. Fifteen is the age a young person can work without their employer holding a permit, and it is the law rather than a rule of ours.
Their birthday comes from you rather than from them, which is how we keep that true. Their full name and your address come from you as well, and both stay here with us.
Ten of them, each written out plainly, including what we ask of you.
Every piece of your young person we hold, and who sees it. They are told the same at the moment they type it.
