13 year old minor children are not legally permitted to work in most states. If the 'job' is delivering the newspaper or babysitting, I believe these jobs are cash-based and not reported to any agency, therefore a fair rate would need to be negotiated between the parents of the minor, the minor, and the employer. Minor children 14 yrs old can work in some states, but require 'working papers', which indicate that both the child and the employer are aware of the laws surrounding legal employment, such as hours and time restrictions, minimum wage requirements (which vary by state), etc.
