Children Reportedly Working Fox’s Land

Children younger than 14 are working on the ranch of Mexican President-elect Vicente Fox, sowing onions and potatoes in contravention of laws banning child labor, the Mexico City daily newspaper Reforma reported. It said that Saturday it found at least 30 minors and teenagers being trucked into the Fox family ranch, San Cristobal, in the central agricultural state of Guanajuato, to work for about $7 a day. The Mexican Constitution bans children younger than 14 from working. Fox himself has not been involved personally in the running of the family’s agricultural business since he went into politics more than a decade ago.
