BonesOfTheMoon10-year-olds found working at McDonald's until 2 am.
I feel like important context is that they were kids of the manager. That changes this from a bad corporate governance and exploitation of labor situation to something else: a bad parenting/child abuse, bad corporate governance and exploitation of labor situation.
I’ve seen fast food employees have their kids in the dining room just hanging out. The employee is trying to manage them as well as doing their job. I see this as an issue with lack of child care options.
But that’s not what this is. FTA:
Bauer Food LLC said in a statement that the two 10-year-olds are children of a night manager and “were not approved by franchisee organization management to be in that part of the restaurant.”
