I'm guessing you have no problem with non-family field workers aged 11 and 14, working on a factory farm in the USA, in the year 2011.

You don't even see the tiny little illegal labor issue problem here, do you?
Just the normal family farm business with child slave laborers in farm country, is it?
In the USA, in 2011?
I don't think anyone is going to buy what you are trying to sell here.

Plenty of teens earn extra money in the summertime. In fact, not enough of them have the chance, due to the ridiculous minimum wage laws.

So I have no problem with the kids both working but clearly there was a hazard and although I’m a lawyer I hate the “sue first” culture we have but I think this one has merit from what I’ve seen.

This most likely isn’t a ‘factory farm’ whatever THAT is.

Most often I see that term used to belittle the farming families who band togather for economies of scale.

This looks like a family farm (like those which produce over 90% of our food) that has a contract with a large agri-business company for the production.
