Child Labor Laws
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Re: Child Labor Laws
If you're 16-17 years old you need a work permit issued by the Department of Labor. Under 16, it's pretty much entertainment only. Still need a child labor permit. And the rules are strict as to how many hours a child can work based on age, studio teachers, etc.. When they made the Twilight Zone movie, where those two Vietnamese children were killed in an explosion, they were illegally working at night, and in a dangerous situation. It still makes me sick the production company got off with a slap of the wrist.

Re: Child Labor Laws
Fact check: It was a helecopter crash caused by pyrotechnics.
The problem was who would they file criminal charges against? Speilberg who produced it? Landis who was directing? The helicopter pilot? Stunt Coordinator? The list goes on and on. The whole situation was FUBAR from the very beginning although if it happened to be two stuntmen in the children's place it may not have been such a media disaster.

Re: Child Labor Laws
Okay, I was doing more typing than thinking 
, you're right, helicopter crash due to pyrotechnics. I think it should've been whoever had those kids out after midnight in a place of potential danger who should be the recepient of the blame. At their ages, they legally shouldn't have been working after 8 p.m., and legally, they should not have been anywhere near pyrotechnics. The helicopter coming down because of the pyro should be a seperate case. I always believed they pulled enough strings to get themselves off, by causing enough confusion as to who should get the blame.
