THOUSANDS of kids are being exploited in dangerous jobs across the U.S. as experts warn child labor abuses have come roaring back — even as the nation marks historically low unemployment rates!
A heartbreaking investigation has discovered children as young as ten are suffering through backbreaking shifts at slaughterhouses, auto manufacturing plants and industrial laundries — despite not being legally permitted to work!
Equally troubling, the little laborers are missing out on critically needed education, experts claim.
“Sometimes I get tired and feel sick,” admits Carolina Yoc, 15, who crossed the southwestern U.S. border alone in 2022 after fleeing Guatemala — only to find herself slaving away in a food processing plant in Grand Rapids, Mich.
But the resolute teen insists, “I’m getting used to it.”
In the recent past, critics allege youngsters have illegally toiled for companies making products or components for some of the world’s most well-known brands — including General Mills, John Deere, Yamaha, Target, Ford, General Motors, Fruit of the Loom and Ben & Jerry’s.
Sources reveal defenseless kids often arrive alone in the U.S. after leaving impoverished countries — and find themselves trapped in servitude in a perversion of American capitalism!
“They should not be working 12-hour days, but it’s happening here,” explains Valeria Lindsay, a language arts teacher at Homestead Middle School near Miami.
