Is It Legal To Schedule Someone From 5a-10a/10a-5p Same Day Without No Break/lunch?

Location: west virginia, USA

My son (19) works at a coffee shop that just opened in south Charleston wv. He originally got hired part time, however, since they just opened they are regularly scheduling him 40+hrs a week. But they are notorious for scheduling him upwards of 10-12 hr days and doing it in a way where it's two shifts split evenly with no time between. Like 5am-10am and 10am- 5pm same day. And they told him the company policy is that he cant eat in the tiny shed they brew coffee in or on the patio unless its "swag day" to which they will provide meals for. Which isnt often... so he will sometimes go all day without eating. I told him that he should ask not to be scheduled full time hours since he is supposed to be a part time worker, or not to be scheduled over 8 hrs. He said he has. But they havent listened, and he also is getting burned out over not being able to eat.

My question is: how can he safely bring it up to his manager about getting breaks in between his broken up shifts?

I know people will be like: he is 19 and can take care of himself. But this is his 2nd job. And I just want to give him good, legal advice that isnt just coming from an overprotective parent. Is this a legal loop hole and are they just taking advantage of a freshly graduated teen?

TIA
