I count myself lucky that I never had a kid that I employed do something that I didn't realize was against the law. It is very easy to accidentally do as an employer in small business. there are SO MANY LAWS for kids now that it is very hard to always remember them all. The penalty is very high for small mistakes that didn't even result in any injury or come from a complaint of forced activity against the child's wishes. While employers NEED to be held to high safety standards, there should be consideration taken into account for places that make small violations where no actual harm was done to receive warnings instead of big fines that can be detrimental to a small business. Also, The personal attacks on John as a politician really need to stop. He JUST got elected to his very first political position. He isn't a seasoned, evil law breaking politician who has been an influence for a long time. He is brand new and still learning. He is kind, smart, and honest. He deserves respect.
