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.
I doubt if this complaint will go anywhere. It's not like the kids are mining coal or plowing the fields.
Jon may be sowing some wild oats, but not the kids.
