Tragic Accident Claims Life of 16-Year-Old at Mississippi Poultry Plant

A 16-year-old boy from Guatemala died in an on-the-job accident at a poultry plant in Mississippi, violating child labor laws. The incident is under investigation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division. The cause of death was attributed to equipment at the plant, and an autopsy report is pending. This is the second death at the same plant in two years, and the company has a history of safety violations. The incident highlights the broader issue of child labor violations involving migrant workers in the United States.
