Wild: 100s Of Kids As Young As 13-Years-Old Found Working In PSSI Slaughterhouses Throughout The US!

“Shannon Rebolledo is a 17-year Labor Department investigator who was skeptical. But she went to Grand Island, Nebraska, last summer, after a middle school told police about acid burns on the hand and knee of a 14-year-old girl. The student explained that she worked nights in this slaughterhouse on the edge of town.

Scott Pelley: What did the educators at Walnut Middle School tell you?

Shannon Rebolledo: It seemed to be known within the community that minors either are or were working overnight shifts. They told us about children that were falling asleep in class, um, that had burns, chemical burns. They were concerned for the safety of the kids. They were concerned that they weren’t able to stay awake and do their job, which is learning in school.

Scott Pelley: Because they’d been up all night.


Scott Pelley: How many minors did you identify?

Shannon Rebolledo: We were able to identify and confirm 102 minors at 13 different plants in eight different states.

Scott Pelley: Do you believe that 102 is the full extent?

Shannon Rebolledo: Not at all. I believe that the number is likely much higher.”- CNN
