The boys, 13 and 11 at the time, were riding on the peak of a house as it moved down the street, callers reported, pushing up low-hanging traffic lights. They were flagging traffic at construction sites, driving bulldozers and backhoes, and they seldom if ever wore protective gear. Fueling fears for the boys' safety, a backhoe flipped with Zach inside.

I really question this guy's judgment.

Plus, there is the issue of his other employees- these kids are not qualified to drive bulldozers and backhoes. There's a very good chance that they'll squash another employee or a bystander.

I think the government is right on this one.

You know, even if the government wasn't involved in this, I would shun this guy for insanely poor judgment. He gives a bad name to all Christians when he tries to hid behind a bible as a shield to his poor actions.

What type of protective gear does one need to operate a backhoe or a dozer? A pair of boots? How would this be any different than working on the family farm?

You know this how? One need only take a close look at some of the "professionals" to know it's not that tough.
