A question about labor-someone help? Thanks?

I worked at a company in NYS, this company prints millions and millions of presidential election and election ballots, other election-related materials, as well as other printing materials. This company is a factory, hard physical labor and many large, dangerous machines. They allowed me 2 start working there at 14 under the table; working on and around machines and doing physical labor as well. I was put on the books around 15-16yrs old, they allowed and asked me 2 work many, many hrs. Sometimes I, and others, worked up to, and sometimes over, 50 consecutive hours; even working 106 hrs in a single week, and they had us work over 13 consecutive days without a day off. This was throughout my time at this company. They also hired other Children, around my age and a few as young as 9yrs old, under the table of course and they performed physical labor and worked on machinery. They were paid by personal checks from the company, sometimes the company would write checks for some employees to people that weren't even employed there. So it's very possible that a child handled, worked on, finished or packaged a ballot that you or some that you know used to vote with in the past. I no longer work there, haven't for few yrs. Is this all illegal? All of it? And can they be held responsible? If so, what steps would I take? Thanks so much for all responses.
