"Jon and Kate Plus 8" Under Investigation For Child Labor Compliance

If having marriage problems was not bad enough, now Jon and Kate from Jon and Kate Plus 8 have to deal with the Pennsylvania labor department. The TLC show is under investigation on whether the show is complying with the state's child labor laws.

"I can confirm that our bureau of labor law compliance is conducting an investigation as they do whenever they receive a charge," said Christopher Manlove, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry.

Who filed the complaint or what the allegations are were not released by Manlove. The reason he says is, "because the case is ongoing I can't discuss the content of the investigation."

TLC replies with a statement saying that they follow the rules. "TLC fully complies with all applicable laws and regulations. Jon and Kate + 8 is no exception. For an extended period of time, we have been engaged in cooperative discussions and supplied all requested information to the Pennsylvania Department of Labor. We will continue to engage the appropriate officials and meet any standards or regulations that are applicable to TLC productions."

The troubles just keep piling on this family. I hope things all work out for them. The children should bot have to go through this.
