I'm certain that there are similar legal questions surrounding children doing manual labor. I guarantee you someone would have a fit if they caught an 11 year old cleaning windows.

That's pure, baseless FUD. I did plenty of side work cleaning windows, mirrors, sweeping garages, and various other tasks that the elderly people on my paper route didn't feel comfortable doing. Contrary to the ridiculous rumors I've seen floated on this site's comments, it's not an employer/employee relationship.
