Child Labor in New York Exposed in Undercover Investigation
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2018
- An Inside Edition hidden camera investigation found children as young as 9 working in a factory in Cambridge, N.Y. They preach peace and love, but there is another side to the members of a commune in upstate New York. The children were packaging high-end lotions and skin cream for brands like Acure and Savannah Bee that are sold at well-known chain stores. At Inside Edition's request, Sarah Williams returned to 12 Tribes, which she left eight years ago. #InsideEdition
"we don't use child labor"
"We treat our children very well"
something seems off
Guy that treats kids as slaves: NOPE! I see nothing wrong here.
@@somerandomperson3504 Well I think child labor is good for children as long as they only work 1 hour a day after school.
@@diceroll2843 as long as you don't hit them and you give em a penny for it
Change child labor to adult labor
hmmm
If thats child labor i was a slave my whole life
@Steven Farmer wtf
true
Me too 😂😂
SAME PURE HELL
@Steven Farmer tf
I was about to say that this actually seems pretty justified until I saw the rods
Same lol
The FBI should raid the soap factory

It's definitely a grey area. I grew up in this cult and worked for them as an underage child. It was not the worst experience of my life and I didn't find the work itself traumatizing. The adults work for free and expect/assume children should do the same. But the group repeatedly refuses to obey the laws of the societies they live in and benefit from, so I don't feel incredibly bad for them getting caught either.
Zac Sutton fair observation
My father grew was born in 1931. His butt was up at 5AM to do chores before school, then after school more chores. Now I'm not condoning excessive use of bamboo rods, but it sounds a damn sight better than the razor strap my grandfather used on my Dad. I see nothing wrong with the labor in this video. The factory work seems pretty light and the farm work is no different than any number of family farms in the world. The legality is an issue that needs to be addressed though, whether the work is acceptable for a child or not.
The corporal punishment... well, truthfully, I support corporal punishment if done properly. I think that issue may be on a household by household basis as to whether it constitutes abuse. If I told a group of people how my father disciplined me as a kid, there would likely be some that said I was abused, and I'd tell them that I was not. My father could be rough. He actually backhanded me in the face full force with with his fist one time when I was 14 for something legitimately minor, but that one time mistake he made does not even remotely resemble the true horror stories of child abuse I have heard of in my lifetime. So without a fuller picture of daily discipline in the 12 Tribes, I don't feel I'm in a position to make an informed sweeping judgement.
What kind of work was it? Do they have children making soaps? That's super dangerous.
@@blueturtle3623 Yeah they had kids working in that soap factory which is at least theoretically dangerous. They also have teenagers out doing construction jobs, which is probably even more dangerous. There's not much that can be done about it though. The U.S. tends to turn a blind eye to that stuff. Even though it's technically illegal, state governments usually take a don't-ask-don't-tell approach.
Absolutely not a grey area. Children should not be used as labour. Period.
A farm is a whole different thing than a factory.. I enjoyed helping my uncle's and Grandpa's farm and still do
Those children do not get a choice, and if they mess up on anything in the farm they get beaten.
Did ur uncle beat you with a rod
Of course that is not child labor
Mhm but there’s a difference between forced and asking to help for fun
Not really tbh
This whole punishment is the same as India. Kids make carpets and if they sleep. They get punished or get hit hard. Some of they kill themselves and get depressed. Just the rudeness. And some kids also try to escape but they cant
I lived in one of that community...

It is.
Yea, like a family farm
Says who? I used to wake up 6 in the morning and go pick fruit and get paid under the table I was 13 ...
Alleged is very quickly becoming my very least favorite word.
Meghan Burgess Faith is my least favorite word
bob junior first stop being a pain in the but second I believe in God deal with it third I said that since the person said faith is their least favourite and since it's a name so they just offended everyone called Faith so stop being so stubborn and get a life.
Meghan Burgess that is allegedly your favorite word
bob junior categorizing all religion as Christianity (that literally what you did) is my least favorite statement
It’s for legal reasons
“ we don’t use child labor” “we take care of our kids” he just exposed himself xD
She asked if he does child labor
He then says no we don’t use children
Then she talks about the beating
He says we’re always gentle with our children
He’s so stupid lmao
Kaycinne Willis it’s funny when he doesn’t want to admit it
@@alienbeanie8738 it's even funnier to make them beg for mercy for it 🗡😈
They gently beat then with a stick, kids just overreact. 😌
I'll never buy those products
Jojo Lynn I always buy this
king George why
king George why would you bye this
Jojo Lynn thats disappointing
Jojo Lynn but you still buy clothes made from asian children working in sweatshops....
I was young at 7 until almost 12 years old age . I worked on my Dad's Saw Mill . My dad would let it be My Choice if I wanted to work tho . Personally I feel their is nothing wrong if being done by the child'd wanting to help or to Learn . If Forced by a Parents to Work and then Lied about to Companies and to The Press . Then yes Their is a Major Problem . The it becomes Child Labor
Mieka Degerness , my brothers and I all helped on our family farm and enjoyed it LOL for the most part. However if pressured into work beyond normal is abuse. We worked possibly a few hours daily. School came first
I agree
Ive been working with my dad as a brick and stone mason since i was a kid and I loved it. That was shity journalism
It teaches them to be responsible
Mieka Degerness same here my dad took me to work im the fields he told me i had 2 options witch was studying or working .
This is absolutely disgusting why would you do this to a child wtf!!
Omg when the kid started crying and saying owww it made me soo sad !!!
This is not ok
Sara Swinerton it is
Sara Swinerton This Is America🇺🇸🇺🇸
Alberto Larios lmao
no U No it's not creep
Alberto Larios so
The little boy helps his family farming. This is not that serious😟
yup true
When they get abused it is and force them to work
But they abuse them???
It’s called chores?😂 Damn these days people don’t know what a chore is🤔
@Alexei Gill theres a different between getting disciplined and a beating
Yea chores. Think about this, you get spanked with a hard rod if you do chores wrong. Just think about that for a sec.
@Alexei Gill casual child abuse
Mint tac Exactly
@@blackgarlicmayomints4178 that's what my parents did to me
Don’t you think that kids should have the opportunity to help their parents and understand how the world works regardless of the atrocious beatings but yet I think necessary physical unharmful disciplining is important
Magd Nusair Physical is not good dummy
Kids shouldn't be forced to do 24/7 labor but I understand that. wouldn't this be legal if it wasn't 24/7 labor and just helping with the family buisness?
Despite knowing how bad this situation is...
Part of me says that the children might want to do this as working on an assembly line or a farm hands-on might teach you a thing or two...
The video evidence really ticks me off though.
Pixelchu it might teach you how to fight through the pain of a whip 👌
The working with growing food yes teach your kids how to garden and grow food... But the soap factory and the beatings because of what YOU AS PARENT BELONG TO NOOOO you should be put away
Y'all they doing is putting some sense because they wouldn't want them to be spoil. It's their tribe and I know some can be bad. Y'all exposing them so you can make more money than they.
Ixirusus Subliminals youre a idiot
exactly.... they're not exactly sweat shops. I got my ass beat when I messed up and grew up on farms. Horses and hobbies can be expensive so there's nothing wrong with learning to work for what you get. I have more respect than most and I turned out alright.
Why y’all tripping. In Mexico 🇲🇽 you start working at the age of 4
Juan Roque and that's bad.
In Guatemala we start working at 2
In Bolivia 6 months old
Well this is america
Not really I'm only American because I was born in America do my parents word have me working doing house chores by now
"This company uses child labor so I went out and bought some and used it this morning." Wait, what?
That leader was the only one I saw driving a BMW while all the followers worked like

Just go to the 3rd world countries... their work is nothing compare to the children who lived in the 3rd world countries..
Erika Arriola i Approve
Exactly Whst I’m saying
absolutely disgusting...i won't be buying those products any more!!!!
that stick whipping was hard to watch that is just abuse now!!
have you ever been belted before? Obviously not. suck it up buttercup, beating your kid with a rod to discipline them is the wisest thing to do.
Budget Productions ummm no ❤️
@@cacaw1389 ummm yeah, i've been whooped and so has my brother. he's also one of the most polite in his class.
Bamboo stick whipping? That's normal in Asian household. Not just that, our parents also use belt, hangers to punish us( to teach us).
When the child got hit and cried it broke my heart so much :(
At first I thought it wasnt a big deal.
But then they got to the beatings.
Why ain't they reporting them to the goverment
prankster tv because there is nothing wrong
Mom: wash the dishes and dust the room
Me: *calls Inside Edition*
When I was 3-8 I get spanked all the time. Watching this made me realize I shouldn't follow what my parents do and when I have kids, I should treat them gently and make them make their own decisions
So heartbreaking and so awful.... Those poor children... Their childhood is over....😭😥😤...
So terrible... I am just speechless....😥
Nathan C Studios okay. I know that. However it makes my blood boil just hearing one of the kids crying out in pain...
It's better than children infront of a damn tablet all day. I don't agree with the beating though
Ashley Martinson
You rather seeing your 9 year old playing Fortnite and swearing?
Ashley Martinson-me too
Ashley Martinson ive seen worst
When the child cried my heart shattered into pieces
I hope those people abusing the children go to freaking HELL to be abused by the Devil himself, God bless those children!
It’s sad how children get their childhoods away from them.
What’s wrong when working when you’re young ? I started working when I was 10 no harm. & you’re taught discipline & respect
Emilio Lucero child labor is illegal in the U.S
its wrong when they forced them to do it
Edoyoda Satria but if you win money is better
I did it for free lol
Jay Cole Well the important thing is that it was YOUR choice. Imagine being forced to work in a soap factory for years against your will.
i never saw anywhere in this video that showed kids working against their will. kids looked happy
Oml if you go to Mexico or Cuba or any other latin country kids do more than put lotion in boxes 😒
xxEmpty Promisesxxx lol that's called Americans for you - likes to get superheated for one of the most pathetic things. People don't realize this happens to kids every day in 3rd world countries and they do worse things than putting damn lotions in boxes.
Woah SYN
You replying to someone ?
:V
Last I checked Puerto Rico wasnt a foreign country. Child labor isn't common there at all...Proof you're talking out your ass.
Augustus Supremum oh no did I offend you I’m sooo sorry I didn’t know my ass could talk ( I’m typing no talking) For give me please
Yah I’m 12 and spent 5 years of my childhood there, oh man it’s horrific
I would work as a kid just for the money
They don't pay them that's why its child labor
I was working since I was 7 years old .
Helping out with family business is not bad but beating ur child just for that they’re too young to be over working like that I don’t agree to this kids this young shouldn’t be working if your not 15 and up
ItzCeCe THANK YOU.
daniel martinez never lazy hun it’s child abuse hitting lil kids like that wyd
Thank u for having a brain thats how i think
what happend to your face
But THAT is not a family business.
That’s horrible.
I always thought my parents were too strict (watches video)
I love my parents xx
Same this made me feel bad
If my daughter wants to work she will have to wait until she is a least 14 with working papers from her high school.
Leonardo Quijada not true for everywhere
Marybeth Langendorf if your kid wants to make money she or he should be allowed like damn
Marybeth Langendorf why is 14 better than 13 or 15?
Blunt Tactics dude I think you're thinking too much about it. Drop the blunt for a bit, you're high.
ٖ ٖ if your kid wants to make money then legally they have to wait until 15 years of age to work part time up until they're 18 then they can work full-time.
But more often than not they shouldn't work unless they can handle the added stress and still have good grades. Their McDonald's job won't get them in a good college so their obligation is to study and at that age working is a privilege.
Geez when I was younger(2nd grade) I would deliver newspapers from 4pm till 8 pm every night. I would carry 2 sacs at a time and it was extremely heavy. People would actually stop me and say "good job kiddo" or "keep up the good work son". It would have been my dream job to work on an assembly line when I was that age.
And get beat when u messed up or didnt listen?? xD
No you didnt
No you wouldn’t trust me,long hours little breaks no no
same chores i had to do as a kid, and also beaten
OKAYYYY Your photo irritates me
Mah man 🖐
OKAYYYY no stop lying
So you had to work at a factory packaging products. Hmmm.
OKAYYYY wow it's cool to brag about being abused create then let me have a go I was once sexually assaulted at a friend's birthday aren't I so cool
This is an outrage! Children should be kids and grow up in a stable environment without the burden of being spanked and forced to work. This needs to be investigated and I give credit to the brave people who left.
I was disciplined as a child. I'm glad my parents didn't let me do whatever I wanted. They also had me do chores around the house. Oh no! Someone call child services because my parents were trying to raise a responsible, decent human being!
aflojo true man “civilized” people just tell their kids to go to the corner for 5 minutes the reason why parents diciplline their children is to let them know to not do that again
@@yeetblackman8127 you haven't seen how bad it can get that's why you say what you say.
@my name is my name You idiot they're kids...you're mean to enjoy your childhood not work in some place..that's for adults.
@@aflojo
Being disciplined as a child is completely different from that of being raised in a far right cult that beats children for the simplest of infractions and brainwashes then.
TBH I lived on a farm and we loved helping picking the potatoes and other stuff. Personally I dont see anything wrong with that but the factory one yeah I'm not quite so sure about.
MOO MOO: The problem is you spelled, “sea” instead of, “see.” Therefore, your comment means nothing.
Sah. B. Lol my bad I'll edit it later thx for telling me I feel embarrassed
Except they're forced to do it. You can't force children into hard labour.
Greedy mfs like those big companies don’t make enough money already
They always want more and more. For them its never enough.
This is so sad 😭😭😭
What a shame 'this should have stopped ages ago
So sad ☹️😭
Poor babies it made me cry hearing the child cry
Rose Castillo it's a punishment dumbass it's not supposed to be positive or something wtf do you expect
Nicholas Rocha punishment is when you do something wrong and they arent! Thats like saying let me slap you across the face with one of those sticks because your breathing
Don't have children they will cry thousands of times before they hit adulthood. You cried when you were a child .
captainzarlon I have three kids thank you very much the only difference is I don't beat them torture them or hurt them
Wow. It’s great that Inside Edition has shed a scrutinizing light on this.
This is just sad 😥😥😥
Child labor is illegal in the US.
Kelly Johnson cause stupid asses demonized kids helping on family farms now we get our lazy ass generation as a result
So is rape but that still happens in us
Help to parents is illegal?
That's terrible!!!
If I were one of these kids I'd run away asap
This is outrageous 😡. Forcing kids to work is not ok.
TBH it looks like any regular farm kids just helping out the adults other than the fact there is spanking the kids which I dont condone any parent should do to their kids no matter how misbehave.
Bruh fr u must be white cause all real black kids got whooped
Subscribe To my channel please You must know very few white people. Where I grew up everyone got their ass spanked
Stupid
xyzHero I'm white and my whole family, cousins and even friends from church grew up on spankings! We survived and none of us look back and say we were abused.
Liberal scum, ima smack my kids ass if I hear he's being bad
Wow that's crazy
This is absolutely disgusting. How can people tolerate this?
This is what Inside edition doesn't want us to know : Lisa is a spy
Looks like kids working on the farm.
3:02 painful to watch :(
ツPastelMations yes it is I hate abuse of any kind.I hate animal and child abuse!!
Leave these poor people alone. They teach children how to work at young age.
You can call Child Protection Services.
Arrest these people, arrests each and every one not just for the child labor for beating those children, there just little kids that boy couldn't have been older then five!!
that not even being beaten. Its just a form of discipline, is it the best form of discipline, hell no, but it works for them I guess.
Ok I was beat when I was a fetus and I turned out fine 😂
Isn’t it called doing there chores
love when the undercover missions go right
Bs a kid will always want to help out here and there, and packing is not labor
That's so messed up
1:58 You’re right !! She’s not from the Secret Service but From Inside Edition.
I started working at 8 with my dad in getting money so I’m not that mad :)
M&M unfortunately not :(
That’s plain cruel
I can't believe someone would have kids do something like that
duhhhhh~ im okay with that kid work helping with their parents in the farm but not that spanking one
They aren’t even spanked for not packaging stuff it’s their behavior and this isn’t child labor, please see China and India for what child labor is, look over the problems where kids have to go on the street and sell themselves that is the problem not this
Ya because you guys believe every little thing is a bad thing, CPR (harassment), accidentally touch (bad), being different colors (bad), like omg
xAlpaca Zeu idiot
Emmanuel chanda thank you
I’m going to hug my mom right now
Thats disgusting! These places need to be shut down immediately!
Putting soap in a box is such hard work.
Lucy Will so was me picking fruit when I was 13 and getting paid under the table didn’t stop me...
It's better for your children to work hard so they will know that money is imporant
I help my mom at the shop everyday
So if you dont give something for them to do
They will stay in their room and play fortnite everyday
Also if it's a family business it's not illegal so get your facts right please
I agree that soap in a box is easy but a 6 year old boy pushing around a wheel barrel isn’t... Plus, if they do something wrong, they get beat with bamboo sticks. Would you beat children with bamboo sticks?
Lucy Will so my mom telling me to do chores is illegal is what you’re saying? Sure
Humanity gets worse....
This is so hard to see!
I think there is more harm having kids using cell phone and computer than kids working at equal level of time.
Idk I don't see a problem if kid worked with parents at farm. I have done farm works with my dad when I was young, growing trees and other stuff. I see it as good experience and it made a good strong connection with my father. I help do cooking a kitchen with my mother too. Right now I'm 30 years and I can grow my own food in spring and summer seasons, and I cook really good meals. And all that made me good decent person. I do appreciate everything my parents taught me.
There's a difference between helping on a farm and being forced to work in factories.
I understand this is wrong and screwed up for a major company to exploit cheap labor with these young kids and then they pocket all the profit.. At the same time its ashame there isnt a way a legit organization couldn't open a business with children doing light and fair work that suits their age and body limitations. This would help them learn and instills a good work ethic in them along with responsibility for when they get older. I remember years ago when i was 14-15 I worked at a family owned campground and it was fun and I learned alot about work ehtic and I also learned that money dont grow on trees. And i consider myself a 90's kìd, they were my teenage years .. It seems like kids today dont like to do anything physical or any type of dirty work.
Michael Nowik I wouldn’t mind a law for light child labor. Not factory work or anything but maybe farming help or organizing.
Kids should play and learn through play. Stop promoting adult work EXPLOITATION of children.
It seems strange to me that you had to work to find out that money doesn't grow on trees. I always knew that by observing how hard my parents worked. Kids aren't stupid, stop using silly excuses to justify exploiting kids.
My dad had a lumber warehouse when I was a kid. I only worked in it when he was understaffed and needed help.
Where NY attorney General, these people need be investigated and put in jail?
Not only is it child labor its also child abuse and that's cruel
Looks like chores to me. The kids seemed happy to help out. I don’t see them working the kids to the bone. It’s no different from kids working who grow up on a farm...
CHORES?
There's a line between taking trash out for the purpose of the house and making soap for profits.
THEY GOT BEATEN WITH A BAMBOO STICK
WTF WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? THEY HURT THE POOR KIDS WITH STICKS!
FASHION, BEAUTY & WINE exactly !!!
Intel shut the hell u not every body grew up with a silver spoon in their mouth. Absolutely nothing is wrong if a child help their parents on the farm or help their parents package out some soap. The kids seem to know what it takes to survive unlike majority of u Americans that was born with silver spoon in ur mouth. I am still a kid and talk definitely does not work a little spanking along the way surely kept me out of trouble growing up untill now.
That’s horrible those people should be in jail for beating children am serious!
I AM SO TRIGGED
That childs cry at 3:00 OMG i cant freaking handle it!!!!
I don't necessarily see this as a problem. If you have a family business making say, candles and you have a five year old who wants to help make candles at home, what's the problem? They're not necessarily being forced or otherwise coerced into doing it. Or, what if it's a family farm? Kids work all the time there and it's literally business as usual.
When I was younger, I wished I could work and earn a wage as a young child. As soon as I turned 15 and was able to get a work permit, I worked and made money. I'd have worked at a 1040 wage job at an even younger age if it was legal.
Now, in terms of the spanking, I personally draw the line there. It depends on the severity of it, of course, but personally, I don't advocate it even though what I see in this video is nothing compared to my own personal experience.
Kovacs Kovacs this isn’t a family business tho, if it were the man would not have told his daughter the woman wasn’t from the child labor department
yes, but this isn't a family business.
Also they make kids work for obedience and severely beat and hit them if they act up. That is not a childhood
This isnt a family business and you cant beat you're coworkers. Name a job where you get spanked
Actually dont answer that question I dont wanna know what jobs you get spanked in
omg this is sooooooooo sad
this is very sad . A child whould not be hit or grown up with child labor. it’s disgusting.
Don't really see what's wrong with it, it's not hard labor, and as long as they're being paid and not overworked then it could even build character.
Also as long as they aren't being forced
TheLedgend 27 True
They're definitely not being paid, the adults that work there don't get paid.
MilkSteak23 what's a 10 year old gonna do with money
Well I rather see kids do hard work and stuff then eating pods and stuff
2:26 THAT IS TOTALLY NORMAL!
AMISH CHILDREN DO IT
I LIVE IN EUROPE AND I DO IT SINCE I WAS 9 THATS COMPLETELY NORMAL
