Sorry, an employer can terminate an at will employee just because the day of week ends in a "Y".

That works two ways, because you are free to quit without notice, too.

You can be terminated at any time for any reason except for a reason prohibited by law (ie religion, race, gender.....) or unless you have a binding employment contract to the contrary. Sorry but your employer did not do anything illegal. They are also not required to give you any prior warning

You can file for unemployment ins. & look for other employment.

Good luck.

The store could have gotten into serious trouble for having a child "working". That was a very poor decision on your part. Now just imagine if dozens of employees were to bring their child to work for "just an hour". Craziness.

Agree. Using your employer as child care and especially having that child perform work, for which you are being paid, breaks multiple laws. Even if it was, "just for an hour", it shows a serious lack of judgment and I can totally understand why they legally fired you.
