Home » Eight-year-old dies after going to work with mom
An eight-year-old Wisconsin boy who accompanied his mother to work because
she had no place else to take him was killed on the evening of June 18th
after getting his arm caught in a conveyor belt of a machine, according to a
report in the Milwaukee Journal.
His mother, who worked for a cleaning company, was emptying trash when the
boy's arm was snagged in a machine running on a 24-hour, non-stop schedule.
The incident occurred at Cintex Corp. in Kenosha, Wisc. Cintex manufactures
metal detectors.
Police did not press charges, and OSHA went out to check the machine the next
day.
I want to hear from you. Tell me how we can improve.
