The children yearn for the graveyard shift at McDonald's 
user
I thought I read they were children of a worker and the worker couldnt afford childcare. Still not great obviously

There was an argument about this in the original thread and from what I've gathered from it (they linked sources) is that some of the workers who were underage were the children of a supervisor, but they were ultimately being used to operate equipment at night which qualified them as child laborers

Not to defend McDonald’s, but aren’t they franchises? I think the real headline is that a mother had to bring her children to her job due to such little pay.
