Child Labor

Blogger Cathy secretly filmed small children, some as young as two, stomping grapes to provide their parents with alcohol. Slogging 'round and 'round in endless circles they went, like tiny bathing-suit-clad oxen tied to a grinding stone.
Was she in some third-world country? No, it happened right here in our own land.

She even had little 2 year old Ricky in there, not that he was happy about it though.
That'll make some killer home video in about 25 years.

It was so close to the Florida border you could just about spit over the line. Y'all come on now, ya hear!

They even set a little baby to toil, and he couldn't even stand up on his own. Disgraceful.
