Summary KOB looked at children "working alone and late at night on Albuquerque streets and at gas stations." The children said they were part of a group called "'South West Pride,' a so-called after school program that allows kids to make money." However, New Mexico Labor Department had never licensed the group, and the group broke laws by having children work so late and alone.
