In California, companies in the Entertainment Business that employ minors have to have a permit to do so. It's called the Certificate of Eligibility to Employ Minors. This permit is issued by the Department of Labor which has a Commissioner appointed by the Governor. There are no Permits required of Parents, no set of standards or confirmation of their knowledge before they put their most precious gift in front of a camera. Most parents are entirely careful with their children.
Most parents take their role seriously.
Most, but not all. Bright lights blind them. You should share them with the world. How easy to go for this line when you haven't yet learned how difficult babies can be, how vulnerable and fragile they are, and how sensitive they can be to alterations in their schedules, how poorly they travel when they're young, and how often they get sick and then well, often in the same day. How easy to go for the gold.
