Access Hollywood reports from the AP that the PA Department of Labor is probing into J & K to see if they are violating laws. I would be surprised if they found that, as the laws in PA are pretty lax, but maybe this will spur some action and get stricter laws for kids on TV and in reality shows.

WERNERSVILLE, Pa. – Jon, Kate and their eight children have attracted a huge TV audience, screaming tabloid headlines and, now, a state labor investigation.
The Pennsylvania Department of Labor says it's looking into whether the hit reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8" is complying with child labor laws.
The TLC series follows Jon and Kate Gosselin as they raise their eight young children, including 8-year-old twins and sextuplets who just turned 5. The show drew nearly 10 million viewers for its fifth-season premiere Monday following reports of trouble in the Gosselins' marriage.
Labor Department spokesman Justin Fleming tells The Associated Press that the department is looking into a complaint against the show.
TLC says it "fully complies" with state laws and regulations.
