On-air co-host Enzo said an emergency halted production on the student program and, later in the broadcast, said students were staging a walkout after allegations that child workers at the Swampscott Summer TV camp were not being paid.

Why it matters: allegations of unpaid child labor and improvised pay procedures raise potential legal and safety concerns and prompted an immediate disruption of camp activities, according to the broadcast.

During the show Enzo said, “production on this very show was halted due to an unexpected emergency. Eyewitnesses claim that victims were forced to run into the film room to stay safe.” Later in the same program he said, “it has just been revealed that the child workers at the Swampscott Summer TV camp are not being paid, and we are currently leading a revolution to escape camp.”

The broadcast named individuals it identified as camp leaders and assistants. Enzo said the show’s reporting “currently understand[s] that Joe Dillett and his assistants, Jamie, Aiden, Sasha, and Paul, were making fake checks to pay their workers.” The program also said, “Further investigations are in progress,” and reported that students were leaving the camp immediately.

The statements aired on the student program are presented as claims made by on‑air hosts. The program did not provide documentation of payroll records, law‑enforcement statements, or statements from camp management during the segment. The number of students involved in the walkout was not specified on the broadcast, nor were details about the nature of the earlier “unexpected emergency” provided beyond the eyewitness description quoted above.

No formal actions, arrests or official investigations were announced during the segment. The broadcast did not identify any municipal or state authorities contacted about the allegations.

What remains unresolved: the program did not present payroll records, police or child welfare confirmations, or direct statements from people named on-air. The broadcast flagged the matter for further investigation; it did not report any formal finding or legal outcome.

Local parents, camp sponsors or school officials were not quoted in the segment. The broadcast concluded the item by saying students were leaving the camp; it did not specify next steps for authorities or a contact for verification.
