Theres a HUGE contextual difference here. Parents who have their kids work around the farm/house as a matter of survival is NOT what happened here. Nick worked from home. Kayla didn't work, AND they had enough money to pay for a nanny. This was not a survival situation where the kids pull their weight or everyone gets sick or starves. A court will never take away a child that has to go out hunting every day while mom and dad are busy maintaining a roof over their heads. They will, however, always step in when the kid has to beg for food because mom and dad won't cook meals or feed them.
