Has anyone seen my son?

More than 300 children, including two 10-year-olds, were found working at McDonald's restaurants across Kentucky and several other states in violation of federal labor laws, the Labor Department said Tuesday.

In one case, investigators found two 10-year-olds were working unpaid and until as late as 2 a.m. at one McDonald's restaurant in Louisville operated by Bauer Food LLC, which is based in Louisville, the department said in a news release.

The two children prepared and distributed food orders, cleaned the store, worked at the drive-thru window and operated a register, investigators found. One of them was also allowed to operate a deep fryer, a task prohibited for workers under the age of 16 under federal law.

Most of the restaurants, 45 of the 62, were in Kentucky, according to data released by the department.

The revelation was part of an investigation into the child labor law violations in the Southeast. The agency also found three franchisees that own more than 60 McDonald's locations in Kentucky, Indiana, Maryland and Ohio, "employed 305 children to work more than the legally permitted hours and perform tasks prohibited by law for young workers" the Labor Department said in a statement.

The franchisees, Bauer Food, Archways Richwood and Bell Restaurant Group, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. CNN has also reached out to McDonald's for comment.

Moon 12 (Leaf-bare) Part 4!

Okay, I lied about this page being the last for this moon but I just couldn't fit everyone I wanted on one page ;_; But part 5 really will be the last for moon 12!

I did have a lot of fun with the train though~ even if poor mama Egg is stressed about it. This page and the next have some critically important foreshadowing for the overarching plot going forward.

AITA for helping my daughter bond with her dog?

Ever since my (50M) wife passed away a few years ago, it's just been me, my daughter (5F, lets call her N) and the family dog. She's a well behaved child, although unfortunately I haven't been able to spend much time playing with her due to my demanding government job. As a result of this, N has grown very attached to the dog.

For some context, I'm known in my field for having done something no one else could years ago. My job's been putting more and more pressure on me to recreate that success ever since but I've never been able to again, and recently I've been told I'd lose my job if I could not recreate the results. As you can tell, this has been weighing down on me but thankfully my job sent over some teens (lets call them E and A) who needed my help and didn't mind looking after my daughter so I was able to focus more on work. They were getting along really well and got rather close even.

It all came to a head when I found the solution to my problem. My little girl's always wanted to help out her papa and has been begging to recently so I decided, why not? And with her help, I was finally, finally able to recreate the results that would save my job. She and the dog has been invaluable to my 'research' and now they're closer then ever. E and A did not react well to this, even though they should understand the importance of our work more than anyone, and E nearly beat me to death. So tell me, am I really the asshole in this situation for trying to keep my job?

I'll never understand how hitting an adult who deserves it is assault but if you do it to a six year old suddenly the law gets vague.

Sure the smallest, weakest and most vulnerable demographic of people in the country should have more legal protections not fewer.

I want to say that being a Swiftie is its own punishment, but a whole horde of them have caught COVID from her concerts and are calling it the "Eras Tour hangover". Literal plague rats.

And yes this goes for every fucking celebrity putting their fans lives in danger to line their pockets. None of them have spoken up for any of the genocides going on or shown donations to them. Y'all are laying your lives on the line for people who can't even tunnel underneath the bar of basic human decency when it's already in hell.

Edit: when I tell you none of you motherfuckers should spawn

This child is going to die because her mother cares more about that greedy climate criminal's superspreader event than helping her recover.

Captain Avery vs The Thing from Another World aka "what if instead of possessing Hunter, Philip went onto possessing Jacob instead and tried getting revenge on Gus for the illusion spell in King´s tide?"

this is how things go in the timeline of Emperor´s Acolyte AU , i wanted to explore more on Gus n Philip´s squandered potential for a dynamic and how would Gus act under pressure of being isolated by a very dangerous man , doesnt help that such man also decided to kill another human right in front of him (yes, Jacob does not survive this timeline) , Gus cant even properly do his breathing exercises while cornered so he resorts to counting numbers , but Belos trying to shush him in the way that he would with Hunter pulls him outta the fear out of shock as you can see. Gus isnt kidding when he says he saw - everything -.

other things of note is that Belos didnt get splatted in King´s tide by Collector like in canon, so his form Was more stable, and his stay in the human realm went differently , more disappointment, more fear and desperation building in naturally from actually confronting the town and the way things inevitably change and religion breaks down, in a way Gus goes thru that journey as well in realizing just how utterly flawed the Human realm is ,trying to come to terms with a loss of innocence and trying to find wonder in the people and the variety of experiences humanity has.

idk why people say learning how to swim is so hard like. its so easy. i learned by my grandma holding my head underwater for long periods of time so i learned how to hold my breath and then she drove me out into the middle of the lake of rage just the two of us, threw 6 uear old me into the water aitjout a life jacket, then told me to meet her at the shore and drove off.

and it worked. i made it back to shore. it wasnt hard at all. from there we worked on getting better at it but like the fundamentals down in one day.
