Abstract
- The article reports on the migrant children across the U.S. who are facing peril and death doing roofing jobs. It presents the case of 15-year old child roofer Antoni Padilla from Honduras who suffered brain injuries after falling from the roof of a beach house in 2022. It reveals the greater likelihood of children working on construction to be killed or suffer severe injuries and workplace accidents due to lack of safety gear. It discusses problems with the enforcement of child labor laws.
