What should I do if my employer is braking child labor laws?

I am 17 years old and my employer has willingly been braking the child labor law. I’m currently working at a fast food restaurant and there are times where I work 8+ hours without any breaks and other times when I work past midnight. I’ve told him numerous times that I couldn’t work those days because I have no sort of transportation and i live far away and he just says “ohh well”. Sometime I have to walk 5 miles past midnight just to get home.
