    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.

      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.
