Child labor laws apply to kids working on actual movie and TV sets. It gets vague when it comes to reality shows. The same rules do not apply. I'm not sure how the money is handled, but the damage to kids on reality shows is much different than on movies and TV's.

The kids on reality shows get to the point where they do not know the difference between reality and TV. It's all blurred when TV cameras are present.
