Child labour can only be acceptable under two conditions: it is not exploitative of the child, and it is not a hazardous work environment. A 14 year old Guatemalan child assembling car bodies clearly violates both those conditions.
Possibly. I don't know about Guatemalans specifically, but in my experience, foreigner households are either way worse than the typical American household, or way better, with not a lot of in-between.
This article doesn't go too much into the subject. I don't know what sort of hours these kids were working, the risks they were in, where their wages were going, what their home life was like, or how they got into the country. However, at this point in our cultural decline, I'm not willing to act on impulse either way. A 14-year old working in a factory would have been a bad sign for a white family in 1982, in what was still nominally a white American nation, but this is a Guatemalan family in the American Economic Zone in 2022. It's still probably not a good sign for anyone involved, but these days, it's worth knowing more.
I'm not convinced child labor is a bad thing.

Yes because their normal home environment is superior...?
