Through the story of the Flores family, Dateline NBC's story "Children of the Harvest" explores the causes of a complex social problem: Why, sixty years after the passage of landmark child-labor legislation, are children still harvesting the food we eat? Rather than create villains and scapegoats, the story investigates the attitudes and actions of the child, the father, the farmer, the food processor and the government officials responsible for enforcing child labor laws.
