Cops discover 'FIFTY children as young as 12' working at Hyundai parts manufacturer in Alabama
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] after they launched search for girl, 13, who ran 'away with 21-year-old worker'
  • The accusations date back to a February Amber Alert regarding Eidy Aracely Tzi Coc, a now 13-year-old, who had briefly disappeared from her family's home Coc, who turns 14 this month, and her two brothers, aged 12 and 15, all worked at the plant earlier this year and weren't going to school

  • Pedro Tzi, Eidy's father, contacted Enterprise police on February 3 after she didn't come home and police issued an amber alert

  • They also launched a manhunt for Cucul, 21, another Guatemalan migrant and SMART worker around that time with whom Tzi believed she might be

  • The girl told officers that Cucul was a friend and that they had traveled there to look for more work

  • Cucul was arrested and later deported

SMART Alabama in Luverne, an automotive parts manufacturer that has supplied parts for Hyundai since 2003, reportedly fired multiple underage workers - some as young as 12 - as publicity around the missing girl's case heated up.

A former employee alleged that as many as 50 underage workers were employed across various shifts when he was working at the plant.

#1 Who is the person in HR who approved the hiring of these children? They don't even have tax numbers, how can they get their paycheck deductions?

Prison time for the executives involved. Of course we all know this is exactly what won't happen. Make employing illegals illegal and the corporations cry out in pain as they strike us.

#3 Unless Hyundai makes unannounced inspections of the SMART (sic) factory, it seems unfair to associate them with this. It didn't happen at their plant (at least as far as this report goes).

Who owns SMART LLC? Why isn't that discussed in the reporting?

#4 Nevermind -- the Daily Mail does do the reporting. It's "majority owned" by Hyundai.

Massive fines for the company, prosecution for those directly involved, and let's see some reporting on who else owned a part of SMART, LLC.
