They're not. They're involved in child labor laws and have been for decades.
Anybody got a problem with child labor laws?
I do, they are nonsense and should be the purview of the individual states.
Do you have a problem with kids mowing grass and doing odd jobs for neighbors while acquiring a work ethic?

Well gee. Let's just go back to the 19th century when states DID have control and kids as young as 6 or 7 were working in mines 7 days a week for fifty cents. Or, cotton mills. Or, gunpowder manufacturing.
Screw 'em, right? Let the little bastid's contribute to society.

yeah the President. what are these kids doing working? they need to be on gov programs learning how to be dependent on us. they should be unemployed filling out gov forms. working? that might stick with them the rest of their lives like a cancer. unacceptable
Jeez, the spin is incredible. Obama's not the answer to all the problems, but not the source of all of them, either.
If you want to be informed, without spin, look at Factcheck.org They aren't on one side or the other, just calling out facts. I am really tired of the Republicans vs Democrats and all of the other stuff, posted by people who only have one set of information.
Inform yourself from sources without bias, otherwise all you're doing is preaching the faith, not facts. I am not directing this at either side ... I am suggesting it for everybody.
Factcheck.org is a great source of information. Stop the bias based on twisted truths ... both sides, all sides! If all you know is Fox News or MSNBC, you are full of their bias!
Edit: I should clarify that I don't try to pretend to know it all. I try to keep up with things, especially if I want to participate in a political discussion. Here you will notice I am not taking either side, only asking that people get information from different sources.
I grew up on a small dairy farm. We milked 40 head. 2 times a day 365 a year. Picking stone, baleing hay, building fence, chopping corn. None of us 5 kids died or were seriously hurt. When we did get hurt it was less due to the job and more to not listening or doing what most kids do.
I know this, compared to kids who didnt live on the farm, we were stronger more endurance and more independent. Non farm kids were more prone to whine or complain about minor things. I see the same today.
Only there are less farm kids than before.
I think Mr Obama might want to stick to something he knows more about. It seems that he has surrounded himself with people who are great talkers but lack real life experience.
I laugh when someone talks about training. Do they believe that dad lets 5 year old john drive a 60 thousand dollar tractor?

Point taken, but can you honestly say that Geo W had all the answers? He is the one who was in charge when the bailout started, not Obama, as many believe.
Facts are good to know. If you don't want to know facts that interfere with your way of thinking, you have dumbed yourself down ... not aimed at anyone in particular.
SO WHAT????????????? Listen to you!!! Accidents happen all the effing time. Wanna know the most dangerous sport for teenagers? CHEERLEADING! Farming is dangerous work always has been. It's none of your business or anyone else's what responsibilities a family wants to give their kids. I was driving tractors and using lawn mowers and power tools before I could drive. Hell I was driving cars before I could drive on my family's property. Get over yourself! I learned how to weld when I was 10. Learned how to shoot a gun before that. You are CLUELESS!!!!!!!!
Kids are getting high in LA off fricking hand sanitizer! Do dolts like you propose that we all have to show an ID to buy fricking hand sanitizer now? Geezus flipping christ what the hell has become of Americans?
Drooling, mind control slaves, incapable of a single rational thought. That's what's wrong. And it's gonna get waaaay worse, if they don't quickly wise up.
Why is the federal government involved at this level of micro-managing farms?
Because those kids are taking away jobs that Union Workers should be doing.
