The company, Tuff Torq, was fined nearly $300,000 for hiring 10 children. As part of a consent agreement with the federal government, the company is also required to set aside $1.5 million to help the children who were illegally employed.

These kids need to stop playing with their hula hoops and Atari and learn some dang work ethic, ya’ll liberals need to stahp this “Spoil the child, spare the rod” nonsense
