If you read the comments, it’s because this sort of thing should never happen in the US. Lots of parents let their kids get jobs at 16, because they believe working conditions are safe because we’re supposed to have things like OSHA.
Blaming the victim and his mom instead of the company that killed a teen is just slimy, no matter how you look at it.
I am confused by the assertion that this should not happen in the US. Are people really naive? Did the suck up all the propaganda in high school and experience shock suddenly? Man, this country is evil and it is so on purpose. States are allowing children to work in these positions.
I don’t see any claims in the article that said the parent were unaware where their child was working. It would appear what they were unaware of was the failure to follow laws and regulations.
I just have a hard time believing the mother didn’t actually know. The ultimate responsibility is obviously on the company, who should follow safety practices and follow the laws.
Yes, I’m sure this is actually about the money for her, and not an attempt to ensure the company is punished in some way for her son’s death. Grieving parents are famously more concerned with payouts than making sure negligence that killed their children doesn’t happen again. /s
The responsibility for a safe working environment is entirely on the company here, and if they have failed to provide it they should be held liable and pay damages.
I can’t disagree with anything you just said personally or socially or whatever
I am just suggesting that it’s worse than it appears. Parents have to let their children work under illegal conditions just to make sure they can have a reliable car.
Edit: she deserves dozens of millions of dollars this company is brazenly breaking the law
Wouldn’t a parent have some responsibility to know and understand where their minor child was working
No it’s clearly the fucking job creator’s fault for not creating him a job at the cash register at the Chick-fil-A instead of the slaughterhouse
I’m sure if the parent had just asked the company if they were a shit hole place to work none of this would have happened!
I think this is the same child who submitted an Id for a 32 year old
Some? Sure. But that doesn’t absolve the businesses responsibility to safety.
But then the rich owners might not make as much money. Let’s get our priorities straight, here. /s
This is not an unreasonable question and you do not deserve to be downvoted for asking it. I can’t imagine what is up people’s bonnets today.

But hey, this is america get your cash money.
Didn’t know what? That lock out wasn’t being followed?
That her son was working illegally at a poultry plant.
Illegally? Some states in US-of-fucking-A are letting kids work. Pretty sure Mississippi is on that list.
She’s suing because the workplace is unsafe, not because of their illegal hiring practices.
