He told me that he called and asked for help and he thought at least maybe the police would come and check out the house, somebody might come and knock on the door and instead nothing happened. He ended up escaping eventually on his own. When I asked Health and Human Services about this, they told me that yes, they did not have a policy of calling these children back or going out once they were contacted.
Patently HHS didn’t think it was important to follow up on phone calls they receive. WTF?

Which would exactly change what? Still a teen that shouldn’t work in such a place. Maybe an hour a day filling shelfs in a supermarket. Not working at a deboner in a soul-crusher.
It doesn’t change anything. It’s an explanation of why the kids are hired. They’re immigrants that came across the border illegally and are being exploited. They are being helped along by Republican state laws. It’s all racism.
Many of them are immigrant children.
