    I don’t see any claims in the article that said the parent were unaware where their child was working. It would appear what they were unaware of was the failure to follow laws and regulations.

      I just have a hard time believing the mother didn’t actually know. The ultimate responsibility is obviously on the company, who should follow safety practices and follow the laws.

      But hey, this is america get your cash money.

        Yes, I’m sure this is actually about the money for her, and not an attempt to ensure the company is punished in some way for her son’s death. Grieving parents are famously more concerned with payouts than making sure negligence that killed their children doesn’t happen again. /s

        The responsibility for a safe working environment is entirely on the company here, and if they have failed to provide it they should be held liable and pay damages.

          I can’t disagree with anything you just said personally or socially or whatever

          I am just suggesting that it’s worse than it appears. Parents have to let their children work under illegal conditions just to make sure they can have a reliable car.

          Edit: she deserves dozens of millions of dollars this company is brazenly breaking the law
