I was stunned after reading the following story. You will be too. "Did a Child Pick Your Strawberries?" by Zama Coursen-Neff, deputy director of the Children’s Rights Division at Human Rights Watch and the researcher and author of a new Human Rights Watch report on child labor in US agriculture. http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-05-12/did-a-child-pick-your-strawberries/full/ "Meet Luz, a 9-year-old American who worked 13-hour days in the fields, skipping school and poisoned by pesticides. . . The United States’ failure to protect child farm workers not only puts
children at risk, but is deeply hypocritical. The U.S. spends over $25
million every year—more than all other countries combined—to eliminate
child labor in other countries, yet it tolerates exploitative child
labor in its own backyard," writes Zama Coursen-Neff |
