They're literally child actors. It is child labor.

It's regularly exploitative and should be under at least the same laws as child actors are under, with all the protections in place that child actors have for the money they earn, etc.

And while we're at it, we should probably re-evaluate child actor laws to make sure they're sufficiently protected from the bad actor and actor strategies that have evolved since the original child actor laws have gone through.
