There are childeren as young as 10 and 12 in the US without their parents. (But sometimes with extended family who may or may not be on their side) working the hardest agriculture jobs.
One of my students here in the Bronx told me about how he worked picking in Texas "when he was younger" (he was 14 when I met him) His mother had to either leave them at home or she could bring them to work with her if they "helped out." The children were not paid.
That was in 2006.
