Good.  Im just a bit confused why people in more capitalistic professions aren't supposed to point out or complain about child abuse.  It just seems oddly specific to this thread.

Why don't you just accept my genuine request for you to help me understand your point and his instead of talking down to me.

If you agree with him then you should be able to explain why you think people who earn an honest living if any kind have to sit stuff like this out. 

You're complaining about illegal immigrants all the time. Do you need to shut up and  join ICE or something?

I just asked what you personally do to combat issues like the one in this thread that puts you above the rest of us who simply whine on the internet about stuff.

Notice how I'm not telling you that your job doesn't permit you to complain about and seek relief for child abuse and exploitation. 

We are all in this together so thank you for contributing to society.

I'm an analyst and processor for a defense contactor.  I will admit I'm genuinely ashamed at how much time I waste posting on here, though.

A Reuters review of the records shows SMART has been assessed with at least $48,515 in OSHA penalties since 2013, and was most recently fined this year. OSHA inspections at SMART have documented violations including crush and amputation hazards at the factory.

I am very concerned with that part. 50k since 2013 isn't much, yet acting like it's "BIG Money" for a company this size. 

If they've had all these violations over the years like the picture they are trying to paint, then repeat penalties will have fines that are progressive. So either the fines aren't enough of a deterrent or the previous violations weren't much.

Why weren't the people that work there reporting this to OSHA? If they are worried about losing their job, they can report it anonymously. 

Lastly, the father knew these kids were working. He should be implicated as well.
