Thank you 60 Minutes for the child labor segment; it's heart breaking children are working in extremely dangerous situations to support themselves and their families in the United States. Questions: 1. How many of the children were ILLEGAL immigrants/children of ILLEGAL immigrants, helping to support themselves and their families? 2. The children of LEGAL immigrants, is this a red flag of the large number of our population who can not afford to live in this economy? 3. Did anyone you talked to, have a solution for the low-income LEGAL population of the United States, that can not afford to live in this economy? Thank you for your honest and ethical reporting.
2. Is yes. 3. Is the company doesn't care.
When the fines for child labor are so cheap. Then it's not illegal. It's just a cost of doing business.
^ THIS. A fine is not a punishment, it's a fee to be free to do illegal activity. We would go to jail for exploiting a child. Employers don't. If a business uses child labor they're still in operation years later. Why? The berry farms in Washington are a very good example, sometimes the farmer even owns the housing the child is living in that they employed. Yes. Seriously. Go look.
"Nearly two years after ABC News cameras uncovered young children toiling away in Michigan's blueberry fields, federal investigators have found yet another disturbing example of illegal use of child labor in the berry industry.
Three southwest Washington strawberry growers were fined $73,000 last week after the U.S. Department of Labor found children between the ages of six and 11 working in their strawberries fields in June."
*A fine is not a punishment, it's a fee to be free to do illegal activity.*
One more reason to boycott animal products.
I could list at least 20 more.
Capitalism is the excuse for many abuses.
@@someguy2135 Ummmmm...... just so you know: berries, my dear, are not "animals." LOL 😂
@@AmericanTeacher-USA Those children were cleaning a slaughterhouse for "berries?"
SCANDAL - no much more than that. I have not seen any CPS involved as far as JVS or PSSI violations are concerned. But when it comes to allegations against parents, made anonymously by criminal neighbors or family members - they are immediately there. Why? Because it's the easiest way to make profits for the agency based on a GOV system. This system is designed to pay $ 8 000+ for each child locked away from parents or brought to foster care. That's the world of America! Thanks to 60 minutes for doing this report!!!
James Nachtwey is such a profound photographer, dedicating his life to sharing the human experience with so many unimaginable images which he has captured in his & our time.When Anderson asked James if he ever gets depressed or cried, i was already totally teared up and could be considered by insensitive uncaring people as a pseudobulbar patient with my emotional reaction over those images. While selflessly passing on having a family himself, James saying just what he said about the selfless devotion that mothers and fathers have for their children and others in need truely sums up what it means to be an authentic & genuine human. Especially in this overwhelming world of conspicuous consumption, heartless ignorance and pure unadulterated greed, Thanks James for being here and there and everywhere for us and thanks Anderson for bringing James to us in this episode. Meanwhile the other evening while watching the Truth of Trump re-unveiled or re-lived on CNN with a cherry picked audience which i could only describe as "The Children of he Corn" in that CNN special Town Hall in New Hampshire left me feeling empty. That 70 minutes of visual and audio agony really turned me completely blank towards CNN, The next day Anderson aired what i presume was an apology or explanation from CNN. I do enjoy Kaitlan, Anderson and Wolf's TV journalism efforts as opposed to other major and minor TV networks coverage of events in these trying times, but i am dumbfounded still trying to digest the reasoning behind CNN giving such a craven idiot any more screen time than that depraved narcissist already receives on a daily basis. How so many Americans still support Trump after hearing and seeing this endless 8 year loop of egomaniacal depravity, along with the daily mass shootings, insane intentions of politicians and disregard for our planet leaves what floundering faith i have left for my country in question. Though my faith in humanity is still intact, thank God.
Go write a book else where. Not in a TH-cam comment section.
pseudobulbar, thanks for that word, learned something new & surprising
James is a caring kind human being his photography is amazing hes full of compassion for humanity he though what he witnesses first hand is Horrific ❤❤
I weep. I weep for the cost paid of our humanity. I weep for James Nachtwey. The weight his soul carries as he brings us lessons we must learn. He may not realize it but he has a similar look in his eyes. I just want to stare into them and hold his hand if only to comfort his soul for a moment in time. God Bless him.
Thank you, Mr. James Nachtwey.
Whoever hired these children should spend years in prison.
Nah, it's good to have an after school job.
White child slavery.
The finest weren't enough to the corporation. Shows that corruption isn't just in D.C.
This company got off cheap considering the profits they make. Shame on PSSI!😡
I'M so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever, hoping to retire next year... Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.
Trading has been very vital for me since the pandemic and it has been a great experience for me and my family.
.... RUN FAST AND RUN FAR... GET OUT OF THERE... IT'S OVER...🤔

It’s sad that these families felt the need to allow their family members to work in that environment. But the fact is there are many families or individuals who are at the edge of being in poverty however they don’t receive and funding from the government (either they are just above the amount allowed or are too proud to accept help) Contrary to what politicians say Americans will take jobs that may not be the most desired, I grew up in WV. There aren’t too many jobs I wouldn’t accept over the years. I was just lucky or maybe it was my hard working habits that put me ahead now. Either way I “believe” there is a deeper story than a company hiring young people. There is a story of families struggling to survive
I agree they bringing these immigrant workers that they can pay them less and take advantage of them because Americans weren't willing to do it for that price! That's part of the immigration discussion is if we will stop letting them bring in these other workers and take advantage of them they will have to pay decent wages! I hate to tell you what every last one of these immigrant families is getting government assistance that they do not deserve cuz they did not pay into the program! You're absolutely right Americans are struggling just to get by we need to quit importing low-wage workers that the social system will have to support but it'll greatly benefit all these corporations that want to make record profits by paying dismal wages! Yeah bringing the workers and taxpayers can pay for their housing their food their medical everything that they need so that the corporations can hire them making nothing and turn record profits this is socialism where the cost is shared by the greater Society but the profits go to just the top 1%
Well said! But I am saddened that so few others picked up on this.
I remember in the seventies working eighty hour weekly shifts and loving the money. I was the oldest of five kids the only thing that matters was making money.that was the rule of the day for all.
They are so little, there Parents ...where are they?
Was coming to make this exact point. They are there bc their family needs the money to survive. So odd that the story never touched on this point at all.
James Nachtwey is a true American hero!!!!!!!!!!!
Make it so expensive to live, you’ll find children in a lot of labor industries. This is a dystopian society.
I agree. The 40 year attack on organized labor by the GOP has weakened labor unions into near insignificance. Strong labor in the 50's and 60's allowed the nuclear family to own a home, 2 cars, and send their children to college all on the father's salary. Today, both parents must work simply to make rent and pay utilities. It should come as no surprise that as those "haves" to whom rents are being paid, have raised the cost of living to the point that bills cannot be met even with both parents working.... The result being parents AND children all working simply to pay the cost to live
Humanity is classy. Definitely values ethics over commerce. 🙄
It’s not even just GOP who has gutted labor unions. Lots of neolib dems have been unsupportive of working class people too. Maybe not aggressive union busters but they’re not our friends either.
In this country we haven't since the 1920s so whoever that was they were breaking the law.
Illegal aliens undercut the labor market lowering wages. Get rid of them and see the difference. Exploiters are the biggest defenders of this criminal culture.
This is incredibly disturbing and there’s no excuse for it but consider how many children are working in factories in other countries to make the cheap disposable products we import from countries that don’t care if children spend their childhoods working. This is a world wide problem.
totaly in china children work for apple and etc and we bought those things :(
I can only imagine how traumatic and dangerous this was for those kids.
Traumatised 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Would imagine how worse it was if they didn’t have a pocket full of money
Capitalism is disgusting, JBS, PSSI/Blackstone should at least pay for these kids college tuition
Look at the strees now full of kids bosting stores to buy drugs.
These kids have jobs . I had a job before that age . At 13 i was working in a restaurant and i loved every minute
Amazing piece on the amazing Mr. Nachtwey, many thanks
On the child labor segment: The government should also share the bulk of responsibility. Labor inspections have significantly declined over the years and recent decades due to reduced funding, thanks to tax cuts, misallocations of resources, revolving door, business lobbying, and big money in politics to rig the rule of the game in their favor. This is just a tip of the iceberg of what's wrong with this country.
Everyone should also be aware of a different age standard for farm work in which 12 years old can legally perform non-hazardous tasks outside school hours with parental permission. Younger children can work if it's a "small" farm or it's a farm owned by parents. Due to lack of enforcement, the reality is worse. For example, look for a video, "Harvest of Justice 2022: Child Labor In Agriculture".
One more reason to boycott animal products.
Everyone has a hand in this including the families.
Inhumane treatment supported by the Biden administration.
Trump needs servants for his filet mignon prep.
@@crystalsswtor3760Not if the children were SEPARATED from their parents at the border. I get that theyre not white , but the way they're constantly being dehumanized at a point in time when we ALL know better . I get why there's so much vitriol against them. I mean, look how soon they actually START taking our jobs😁🤭🤐😶
And then we have Arkansas, courtesy of Sarah Huckabee Sanders, recently lowering the working standards for children. A sixteen-year-old can now get work without a permit. But if it's any consolation, minors who are 16 years old can't work more than six days in a week, 54 hours in a week, 10 consecutive hours in a day or 10 hours in a 24-hour period. Ugh! When are these kids supposed to do homework and sleep?
That woman is pure evil.
Per the Lithium Valley story: my only concern is that what is not mentioned. The "boiling mud" has a heat source which is tectonic activity. How will the industries out there confront rising underground temperatures or plate movement that creates massive earthquakes. And just how clean is the steam that is released? Traditionally, steam power has not been a viable alternative because of the pollutants in the steam. There are a lot of questions the story did not address.
Well said. It’s unfortunate that while this will create jobs it could also make people very sick.
Not only that they comb over where lithium is mine now saying mined in one spot which is Africa by children
Rising temps? We have things called relief valves and machinery.
Just like nuclear power, u are not using the steam off the power source directly, u are using it to heat a clean source of water to turn your turbines
Umm there is nothing that can be done about earthquakes. U build as best u can and hope an earthquake bigger than what u built for never happens
My friend commented “them already having kids size work clothes that it got approval from multiple people and thought a lot about it”
Amazing photos, war is very painful. I lived in one, survived it. 😢 the pain never goes away 😢, it will be with you forever. 😢
Astonishing this happens in the USA not a mistake it's CRIMINAL. Easy to use children for low pay, they know what they did and may still do, parents who have children then abuse them for MONEY, the Company can see without having paperwork. 📣
The answer is yes, billionaires making profits on the sweat of children. Not a stretch or surprise. They don't give a rats patootie as long as they please the shareholders.
One more reason to boycott animal products!
We all share a portion of guilt for child exploitation if knowing certain companies, countries or regimes use children as cheap labor and we continue to buy their products or support them. By the way, the poor will always be with us thus we must be 'just' and wise in dealing with them.
Arkansas passing labor laws, "Hold my beer"
Now we know why.
Iowa just made this legal
A Brita filter DOES NOT filter out all impurities of your water. Don't know what he's talking about.... James Nachteway is amazing!!!!! Thank you man for your Transparency in your photos @ great risk to yourself.
Well done.
Thank you so much 👍
If there are children working at slaughterhouses now, you’d better believe there are children working all over the country in other industries.
This is just the beginning. More will come.
Thanks Republican rich politicians
I love how the people who are supposed to find and investigate are "skeptical" when they get complaints like this. Wtf 😒
Notice how she says "they were concerned. They were concerned. They were concerned." Never once a, "then I became concerned"
These billionaires owe these kids an education - they should be accountable to pay for their college tuition
I can applaud the work ethic of young people wanting to work. I cannot applaud a company who would hire children especially for overnight work.
In 1993 had a job at the age of 13 they would let me out of school to go work . I didnt graduate but i loved every minute of work
This Company PSSI Is Actually wrong because of the nature of the work!
But Children that choose to work with their parents at an early age are learning a valuable lesson that will keep them hard working honest and don’t have to rely neither on government or anyone else but themselves!
Perhaps these families need the money to survive?
Children make agreeable management .
Beautiful story on James N. collecting historical story of joy, pain, war, and triumph. Maybe the 918 will have the honor to see James' gift.
Im sorry, "hiring" 13 yr olds should be jail time not a god damn fine
It should be REPARATION
Should be both fine and jail 😮
MAGA BILLIONAIRES
Thank you for knowing
It doesn't surprise me about the child labor story. And I think it's an ongoing situation, considering the number of children who enter the country. Mr. Natchwey is a world-class photographer, stunning images.o
I was working since 13 yrs old and I’m 51 now. Nothing new people 😂
So, If they did use false ID they had managers,supervisors that should know they are children.
They do know
They just don't care
And the state doesn't care either.
The feds "care" in that they have the mega conglomerate sometimes pay a small child tax for exploiting child labor.
I graduated from nursing collage +50 yrs ago from an Asian country (not China ) but we speak the same languages . My classmates and I at the time was between 16-18 yrs old . We were force taking terms to work 7 pm to 7 am shift at labor and delivery room, we were not allowed to sit down or take any brake during the whole 12 hrs . I will never forget how I physically and emotionally suffered back then. Can anyone imagine After 12 hrs continuous standing on ur feet ? Sooo Painful ! School told us and parents that’s parts clinical training . Plus We still had to pay full tuition to be there, help them to schedule less regular staff 😂. I finally realized that’s child labor child abuse ! Too late for me !
The rich exploit everyone while on their yachts.
Great America 🇺🇸 land of the free and truth ! Right
I don't see the problem... I work a full time job starting at 14 and still graduated from HS! It built a highly motivated person to work, knows and understands the dollar value. Nothing wrong with this...
It's the conditions that the children were working under that is the problem. If they were working under safe conditions at normal waking hours while school is not in session then the child labor wouldn't be such a problem.
I'm sure the parents wouldn't have allowed their kids to work if they weren't desperate for the money for food and shelter. Instead of punishing the parents for trying to survive, how about helping them out? Fair wages would be a great start.
Children were most likely paying for their own coyote.
Yep. From Mexico etc...human trafficing
It's the corporations that have created this problem. Parents that would involve their kids in this should be relieved of their parenting!
Stop open boarders period.
Fair wages? How about they are here in the US ILLEGALLY!!
I'm Speechless 😢😮
Very insightful piece.
Graveyard shift at the slaughterhouse. (O)!(O)

I was 15 hired meat dept. Grocery store. Running slicers. Grinders
Great reporting.😢
I worked at a HyVee grocery store from 4pm-10pm 6 days a week. No one said anything then.
I slaughtered chickens on my grandpas farm
Okay. How did that work out for you? Got a great education, maybe a college degree or two? Living the comfortable life of a higher income? You should be one of the louder voices exclaiming that these kids shouldn't suffer because you experienced it when no one said anything while you were a child worker, probably at a ridiculously low wage.
U r Caucasian noone cares about yall
After school; only 6 hours. Stop your privilege.
Your comment is ridiculous on its face. There is no comparison... Groceries versus cattle carcasses.
How does nobody from PSSII have to go to jail?
Because corporate lobbyists rule this country and the politicians.
WOW, first and last story, WOW
That is absolutely disgusting
Maya's mom here: We, the 98 percent majority of Americans want peace or our world! And honesty in our government! Question: how does one extinguish a Lithium Fire??? Can it be done?
I can't help feeling we won't stop striping our planet, our home for our precious gadgets till there's just nothing left. What's going to happen to all these batteries when they have been exhausted?
Humanity should learn to have comfort and/or fun (unnecessary property used for its entire purposeful life) yet keep the environment in mind.
You’re right and it’s undeniable that we all know we can’t strip the earth forever without consequences. Whatever they may be.
Eventually one or more physical Earth issue will be attributed to mankind disturbance
The batteries are easily 99.5% recycled. Oil/Gas is burnt for energy once, then done, it's waste.
You say as you type on a computer with minerals in it.
@@jusidit They are not "99.5%" recycled. Lithium, for instance, has the potential for about 50% to be recycled, but the amount that actually is recycled is less than that. Today only 5% of batteries are recycled. Finally, there are a lot of fossil fuels involved in the mining. Nickel is an essential element and its mining is particularly dirty. So-called environmentalists always go on about "green energy" that isn't that green. But don't worry, hypocritical Californians will object to any lithium mining in the state, all while campaigning for the use of EVs which require lithium batteries.
@@putler965 OK, I rechecked my source and it's over 95% Lithium is re-purposed/reused either as static storage battery systems or recycled. EV batteries are not failing in any numbers with a few having now done over a million miles.
I worked for JBS.....I WOULDN'T BELIEVE THE STUFF I SEEN
People living in poverty face things that some can't imagine. It's heartbreaking.
This is messed up...little kids cleaning up after animals being massed murdered in a factory during the night shift?? This is why I don't eat meat...this is just sad...
Vegan for life
So I take it you’re not going to drive electric vehicles because of the child labour used in other countries ? Or use your cell phone, laptop, etc?
@@merhaba8 Well, not everyone uses a phone or laptop nor drives a vehicle but almost everyone consumes animal products in some way. Plus, there are a few brands like Fairphone which don't use child labor.
JBS is one of the worst slaughterhouses and has had numerous animal welfare violations.
I love how people talk about how animals are being abused when we are literally killing and eating them! The logic just doesn't compute to me. 🤷🏿♂️
@@twolegs6045 well; I agree with you; people say they love animals until we mention the ones on their plates. I'm vegan and an animal advocate; I don't eat or use and abuse any animal.
@@Prancer0210 I tip my hat to u! I'm trying to get on that level.💯
@@twolegs6045 you can do it! The animals will thank you; and I thank you; good luck!
I worked in a packing wharehouse since I was 12
40 bucks a week
Now a 102 families are going without...
60 minutes always gives you the info you need to make sound investments...
With all these illegal border crossings, minor abuse like this are going to be more prolific throughout the States and gradually become new norm! !! What a great grief for the se kids!!! 😢😢😢 And all those who support the open border policy are morally accountable!!!
Low wages and exhorbitant cost of housing affect far more American families than illegal immigrants
What parents would send their kids to work like that especially in a place like that I am speechless😮
poor parents
@@Belbao1992 Parents who don't want their children to be homeless
Tax cuts for the rich make everyone poor.
Billionaire tax cuts make us poor. GOP
@@kathrynbeecher2963 then they should go and work there themselves children should be in school never heard any thing so ridiculous in my life
And people still think America is a country that has morals, and isn’t corrupt
I love his reaction, " Why was that?". It's so real with emotions. Other countries are poor, so lithium products are their export. America didn't have to go into competition with them. But I am glad there is lithium and steam from nature to power us and free us from depending on old method.
You have no idea what your saying about lithium
Lmao do you know what lithium will do to the earth. Tesla motors is not the technology that Tesla had planned. Electric vehicles might be an option of transportation. But we will not have lithium pools to feed the craze of fools.
Where were the parents ? Why isn’t the story all over twitter
Cleaning the blood from the unnecessary killing of animals can be stopped by not consuming animals.
Absolutely right! It's time to ban the disgusting factory farming industry and shut down these cruel slaughterhouses.
YES!!!!!!!!
I had a burger for lunch 😋
Wow ur smart
Hold the phone! It’s taboo in our culture, I hate child labor however I did my thesis on it and to these families, 25 cents per hour is life saving AND they have no babysitters, I don’t condone safety breaches however
These kids wanted to work. Nobody held a gun to thier head. The business should be rewarded for employing these kids, paying them and keeping them off the streets
Thank you i had a job at 12 years of age in 1992 i loved every minute of it .
There are possibly more children than reported. Adults would take the jobs except for it is a low wage position. Maybe its just the system not the instance?
Maya's mom here: We, the 98 percent majority of Americans want peace or our world! And honesty in our government! We also want honesty in business...for instance Blackrock et al...Lithium is FAR FROM CLEAN ENERGY!!! Check it out for yourself!
What's the problem? 1 million crossing the border every night..!
and still not enough of 'em to do the work nobody else will touch without having to hire their kids too. What's the problem?
Imagine - 60 Minutes being excited about leading the prospects of lithium materials being mined here so it doesn’t have to travel to be assembled, and yet they have no qualms and actually probably enjoy the fact America is now not producing oil we STILL NEED until green alternatives become abundant, reliable, and cost effective.
They are already abundant and reliable, soon to be cost effective. I’m more concerned with food costs than energy costs. Oil can take a back seat now, byee!
Wtf that have to do with anything?
How sad that unrestrained and illegal child labor is coming back because of greed and lack of basic human compassion.
A billion dollar company was involved. Company Managers need to be punished and spend time in jail.
Are you kidding? The Republicans wouldn't stand for it! 👺
odd choice.kid drops out of school . Which would you rather have . Kids out doing gangster stuff or working ?or the teen going to school and working , terrible. I was working quite a bit at 4-10 years old. We had a large farm and anyone that wanted to eat worked .And if they are non americans its the goverments fault for allowing them in this country illegaly.
I see what you mean,but overnight?I don’t know
My friends and i take out kids on weekends to work construction in the sun and cold..we call it education, teaching them how to earn a living the cost of money..we take it easy on them
Danggg... I'm a trucker and I've recently loaded beef at that JBS Beef slaughterhouse in Grand Island, NE. That beef has now been consumed by people in the Oakland, CA area, but that's beside the point. What a sad story.
Blackstone just didn't bother to question what they were told. Where is their "due diligence"? When big money is involved-there is NONE!
THE "WE OWN THIS" IS EASY AND OBLIGATORY AFTER THEY GOT CAUGHT...
Due to the parents' "real lives" in high school, subways had my pal work from 11 pm to 6 am.
During the depression my father worked at the Chicago stockyards slaughter house. He was a teenager.
Still steady work
This is not a one off for this company. I tried reporting that there are folks not legal on payroll. The reason it's important is because the people that weren't legal would be forced to work doubles if needed. The sexual harassment runs deep. This company almost broke my spirit. This makes me angry. Me and another manager called out the bad business in 2017. The playing dumb by JBS is sick. They knew and know but if it's not on paper it didn't happen. They are leaving out the USDA inspectors that run around supposedly independent. They see the people too.
Poor kids mopping up blood all night instead of getting healthy sleep and then to find out one of them was in foster care, nothing more than a cash cow for some monsterous people parading as do gooders. awful.
The fines & settlements for businesses that are found guilty of breaking laws or abusing employees should be so much higher! Say 90% of their worth/holdings, that would be catastrophic so I don’t think they would break these laws as readily; of course then the laws would have to actually be enforced!
2:29
I don't think there's an American out there that is surprised by this.
But why did these are children apply for this job and why are they working at that age or does anybody really care about that at all?
Lithium is not a "dense metal." It floats on water and is the least dense metallic element.
17 is somewhat understandable but 13 is criminally
Is everyone just forgetting to ask how these kids got through the
"Int😂erview process that every employer I've ever heard of conducts before hiring someone
I worked at 16, not sure if it was legal but I got paid and didnt really care. It was my choice, I wasnt forced to do it, Big difference.
The child labor segment leaves a huge hole. As someone who grew up in an area where the minorities were the majority and high poverty, most parents don't send their children to get a job unless they absolutely have to. It's mostly just to put food on the table. Both parents work, usually two, sometimes three jobs, and if only one it's usually because daycare is too expensive for them, then sometime around 8 or 9 the kids have to look after themselves. That's what leads to them joining gangs and getting into trouble. I'm not saying it's ok, but there's a whole other story about how poverty is working. It doesn't matter if they are illegal or not, it's clear not enough is being done to survive or at least be able to protect these kids from it. I remember so many kids in high school working full time, sometimes two jobs to keep the water running and the lights on.
It is called greed. Something that never goes away.
Jbs owns a poultry processing plant I work at in hickory, ky . PSSI does our sanitation also. Heard their contract is ending 😮💨
There is a certain depravity one has to have to hire children as a cleaning crew for a SLAUGHTERHOUSE!! A child working over night reported to school with acid burns. Instead of investigating the entire industry and charging adults for endangering the welfare of children, the governing body rushed to loosen labor laws that protect the very people society needs to be protected from! Its disgusting the maximum fine for this violation is so little. Even worse, the money is divided among the treasury department, department that let this happen under their watch and investors. Are we in the fukkn twilight zone? What is even happening in America? Why is this story being reported in a way that minimizes the victims while focusing on the business side? When this story first broke, there were images of WAY more than 2 children. None of them were wearing the protective equipment seen here. I also noticed there eas no mention of the cleaning chemicals being illegal and different from those ised by adults during the day.
May God bless children all ages under “Oppression Opportunities” taken away from them. There should be justice in this World. ❤
The children’s can do jobs at their age starting at home and training them at 18 but some jobs are not for minor’s
BIDENS America! They don’t care for anyone except themselves and the elite
