    Fuck no. What a stupid thing to suggest. My mommy didn’t come to my work when I was 16 because she assumed that in America we don’t have such abhorrent conditions to necessitate a visit.

    Are you the type of person that needs your mommy to look over all the things you do?

      Wow, so edgy. And angry. Whatever is going on with you has nothing to do with my comment. Seems you are just discovering that life sucks and that the system is rigged.

              It really is shocking just how toxic you are. The way someone treats you is nearly always a representation of them as a person rather than you. What are you trying to tell us about yourself? I don’t actually care, you’re getting blocked. But you should probably find a way to answer that question for yourself.

                You should have acquiesced after the suggestion mom is partially responsible for ensuring her son doesn’t die at work. It was a dumb suggestion. This isn’t 1874.

                  We do normally count on legal guardians to, by definition, ensure the safety of their charges until they come of age.

                  I don’t know the facts of the case here - she may not have even known he was illegally employed - but it’s just not inherently outlandish to ask the question. When I was growing up my parents certainly protected me.

                    As best I can tell, the anger comes down to “but the mom shouldn’t have had to worry”. It’s sort of like they can’t handle that things are the way they are.

                    I don’t disagree with that. And sure my mom absolutely would not have let me work at a slaughterhouse at 16 yo. But the real question here is why does ANY slaughterhouse allow a minor to work there? And, poverty I’m sure is involved. And, arguably, culture differences, as from what I gathered from the comments is she was an immigrant and arguably didn’t see anything wrong with her son working somewhere that killed chickens. Which, arguably there shouldn’t be anything wrong with that … But factory farming is intense and I don’t think appropriate for minors.
