Eight-year-old Cam Johnson and his mother Cristal's Hueytown lemonade stand grew quickly thanks to social media. But when Cam’s Lemonade advertised a one-day apprenticeship program for a child from ages six to 10, the business ran into some trouble.
Summer has a way of turning children into mini-capitalists, transforming steamy temperatures into cold hard cash, one glass of lemonade at a time.
“One day he asked to go to Disney World,” she remembered. “I was just kind of joking around with him, telling him, ‘Let me teach you how to earn a buck since you think money grows on trees.’” But when Cam’s Lemonade advertised a one-day apprenticeship program, the business was reported to the Alabama Department of Labor.
A spokesperson for the Alabama Department of Labor said it does not “stop lemonade stands, and we never have.”“This is an LLC with professional transportation and distribution,” the spokesperson said. “Kids that age can volunteer for their church or other non-profit, but a 6-year-old cannot work for a for-profit business. She is free to employ her child at her lemonade business, but no other children under the age of 14.
