I have a contractor friend who employs several people. One of his workers brought his eight year old to the job site in an office building on a Saturday. He told the kid that he would give him a few bucks to pick up some trash. Another office in the building happens to be the local state labor bureau office. One of the labor bearau employees stopped in after hours and saw the kid taking out trash and went crazy on them about working someone under age. It was nuts. My buddy was being nice to the kid and boom winds up breaking a law he was unaware of. It is likely we have all run afoul of the law in ignorance and sometimes we wind up facing the consequences.
We don't know all the ins and outs and a rush to judgement from those of us on the outside is simply unwise.

I know all the ins and outs. No rush here. As for ignorance, well the each hold a licence and Matty has 2 1 as a gen. contractor and he was license and bonded for his lawn business. They have to take a test that deals with this type of situation. This is a little different than having a kid take out trash on a weekend. I have to whole BOLI file. They can lie and cheat but God knows all.
