Alabama mother and son, 8, are reported for violating child labor laws for trying to recruit neighborhood kids as a 'smiler' or 'greeter' at their lemonade stand
2023-07-01
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] No remarks about the neighborhood corner drug hustlers.
It looks like a pretty professional operation — mom-led rather than kid-led. At least the authorities only told them to stop trying to hire other kids, rather than actively seeking to punish them for setting up a successful business.
  • Cristal Johnson and her son Cam set up the stand to save money to go to Disney

  • The duo was looking for kids aged between 6 and 10 to help Cam with the stand

  • Each child would be paid $20 after a two-hour shift helping to sell lemonade
