（单词翻译）

Kids working U.S. tobacco fields are getting maimed by farm equipment and poisoned by pesticides1 and nicotine2, says Human Rights Watch. But nobody's done anything wrong.

Wurth: "Most of what we documented for this report was perfectly3 legal under U.S. law."

Margaret Wurth co-authored the study, saying kids working all sorts of farms have no protection– not physical nor legal.

Wurth: "At the age of 12, a child can work unlimited4 hours on a farm of any size with their parents permission. And, for most other jobs, kids have to be 16."

She says both the industry and government need to make changes.

Eben Brown, FOX News Radio
