The Lawlessness of Bonanza City

So, it seems the producers of this amazing show are under attack for alleged child labor law violations.  http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/archives/kid_nation/2007_Aug_24_investigation_contract   While this claim brings back fond memories of Full House requiring a set of twins to play Michelle and not so fond memories of 7th Heaven letting both twins have roles (bad move, 7th Heaven), it offends me, in this case both personally and professionally.  As a lover of the show, I'm of course irrate at anyone who attacks it.  As a serious legal professional, I know that the bigger claim for child labor law violations should be slapped against whoever is responsible for spawning Greg.  With all this kid's experience, he must be holding down at least three full-time jobs outside of his budding reality TV career (I count PVC pipe layer, butcher, and shepard so far, based on his claims to date and we're only in Week 3).  So, New Mexico authorities, I deplore you to go after Father/Mother of Greg and leave the best hour of my week alone. 
 
Or if you're really looking for someone to nail, why not try Emilie's parents for violations of child labor laws?  They let her break wild stallions.
