I used to do this sort of overnight cleaning but in medical. Based on my experience I would be very surprised if the overwhelming majority of these kids weren't a) immigrants and b) working the same shift least one of their parents. I wouldn't say it was typical to have teenagers around but when you saw one it almost always turned out that they carpool with a parent even if they didn't necessarily work in proximity to each other.

Yep. I'm not defending this at all, but there is context that may not be clear if you're not familiar with these communities. At least with the teen working, the parent knows where they are and the family is gaining income. The alternative is likely the teen staying home unsupervised, which is neither providing opportunity for the child nor income for the family.

Very similar to farm work- kids get up early and milk the cows
