Growing up in Florida, my parents would not let me mow the lawn because they believed child labor laws meant they could potentially get in trouble for it. Regardless of the likelihood of legal action as a result of this, the fact is there was a perception among Floridians in the 1990s / 2000s that child labor laws may be overly strict.

Yes, they obviously prevent kids from working from 11PM to 6:30AM on a school night/day. But that is so so so so mellow compared to what we have up here in Washington state.
