At least before the fall of the republic, it was apparently common for Jedi Padawans to be locked in a cave to face a trial against their deepest fear to get a Kyber Crystal to even make their lightsaber in the first place. If they failed to conquer their fear, they died.
Edit: apparently they don’t die per se, but are meant to believe they will and also if they fail, they might be stuck there. It’s weird and still not ethical
Child endangerment is the Jedi way.
That’s why they are given laser swords that can cut through anything at age six!
Anything aged six too!
Training swords! They just sting like a bitch. They don’t make their own until well later.
Don’t forget blindfolding them while they use their laser swords
You mean those kids didn’t go through the Jedi ritual of constructing their own lightsabers? What has happened to our cherished traditions?!

Disney happened, that’s what.
Palps strip mined Ilum so it’s probably better that we don’t send younglings there any more.
Ah yes because Dantooine and it’s fucked up dark side giant cave spiders is so much better.
You want those younglings to be defenseless against the Jedi that kill them with their laser sword?
The only thing that can stop a bad Jedi with a laser sword is a good Jedi with a laser sword
