FLDS Youth Construction

If this is true, is truly disturbing. Having such small kids working in construction sites with all the dangers of such places is scary.

QUOTE
Contractors say it's a fact of life in Southern Utah: children working on construction sites for companies with ties to Warren Jeffs. We have photos that raise the prospect of an illegal practice that seems commonplace, even though it's rarely prosecuted.

Rival contractors sometimes call it slave labor, kids of polygamists working far below the legal age. Under most circumstances, that's 16 for construction and 18 for dangerous tasks. Other contractors say they see kid workers all the time, and it drains dollars away from them to the FLDS Church.

Driving past the Cedar City Walgreen's a couple of weeks ago, private eye Sam Brower saw something that made him grab his camera. "Some little kids out working on a construction site," he says.

He snapped two photos of a boy he'd seen working with concrete. He appeared exceptionally young. Brower said, "I'm gonna guess about 8, maybe."

He also photographed an older boy on the job site and at the wheel of a water truck belonging to R & W Excavating. The head of that company is Willie Jessop, who once testified he was a bodyguard for now-imprisoned polygamist Warren Jeffs....

Oops LDS, your article refers to the FLDS church. Not the same church as the Reorganized.

It is terrible that such small children are being asked, or forced, to perform such hard labor.
