Follow Jon and Kate Plus Eight, the Gosselin family. Jon & Kate Plus 8 is a reality TV show about the Gosselin family, consisting of parents Jon and Kate and their eight children — a set of fraternal twin girls and a set of sextuplets (three girls and three boys, all fraternal).

The show follows the family through their daily lives, focusing on the challenges of raising multiple children. The show originally aired on Discovery Health, but has aired on TLC since season 3. It is consistently one of the highest rated shows on TLC. The family originally appeared in a one-hour special titled Surviving Sextuplets and Twins.

Jon & Kate Plus Child Labor Investigators

The State of Pennsylvania is investigating the Gosselins after receiving a complaint that the couple are violating the states child labor laws.

I can confirm that our bureau of labor law compliance is conducting an investigation as they do whenever they receive a charge, said Christopher Manlove, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry.

Manlove would not say who filed the complaint, when it was filed or what the exact allegations are. Because the case is ongoing I cant discuss the content of the investigation, he said.

In response to the investigation, TLC released a statement Friday saying, TLC fully complies with all applicable laws and regulations. Jon and Kate + 8 is no exception. For an extended period of time, we have been engaged in cooperative discussions and supplied all requested information to the Pennsylvania Department of Labor. We will continue to engage the appropriate officials and meet any standards or regulations that are applicable to TLC productions.

The department is required to investigate every complaint that is filed, regardless of its apparent legitimacy.

I wonder who filed the complaint? Earlier in the week Aunti Jodi and Uncle Kevin told the Early Show that they thought the children were being exploited and viewed as a commodity.

Hmmm.
