Got accused of child labor law violations last night because I hired two 13-yeayr old neighborhood boys (with their parents' permission) to carry bags of mulch around my yard and help me rake it into place for about 3-4 hours

I pay them $15/hour with a 15 minute mandatory paid break every hour.

If I hired them to baby sit, do you think that's OK? How about to mow my lawn?

Don't think I did anything wrong.

Sounds wrong to me in many ways. Give me a franking break. Who is making the accusations? Maybe Frank and Drafter can make some calls to resolve the situation. I'd do it without pay other than a few bottles of water and friendly shooting the $hit.

Something is wrong with the "e" key on my keyboard on this computer. I have to hit it twice before the "e" prints.
