Father and child busking

I was only assuming they're father and child busking ,could be different . Both did too well, the child was fantastic ! Having my work to do with children , their rights and interests ,some thoughts had set in ,whether this activity is just for fun or as form of child labour with subtle abuse in play ( a child compelled to do busking with his flute ? ) .It made me wonder whether this child was given a choice or his choice listened to . Busking and children doesn't go together IMHO. In the long picture a child would feel isolated , seen as different character and alienated from his peer group ,self esteem could potentially plummet ,made me wonder of the life behind this scene.
