The thing with J & K's kids is that there is apparently no verbiage in the Coogan Law to cover children on nonscripted (i.e. reality TV) shows. Writers (yes, reality TV has writers) and editors in the reality sphere are facing a similar problem.

Yea, I found something else regarding that. Obviously this is probably why it came up when the John and Kate scandal hit the news. But I didn't pay too much attention because I really don't care all that much about it.

And again, California has some of the stricter laws concerning this issue. Some states have none. If a reality show that included children were filmed in, let's say Arkansas, I can pretty much guaratee there wouldn't be any laws protecting them.
