Hundreds of children, including two 10-year-olds, were found to be illegally working at multiple McDonald’s locations across Kentucky, according to the Department of Labor.
In a May 2 news release, the department said investigators from its Wage and Hour Division found approximately 305 children were employed across Bauer Food LLC, Archways Richwood LLC, and Bell Restaurant Group I LLC—three separate franchisees that operate a total of 62 McDonald’s locations across Kentucky, Indiana, Maryland, and Ohio.
