      Were there child workers, or do immigrant families not have access to childcare? All the reports I have seen have only mentioned that children were present. When I was a kid, I spent many days hanging out where my dad worked. It is summertime. All the schools are out of session.

      In a Friday statement, officials said that 10 children without documentation were identified during the two immigration operations in Camarillo and Carpinteria, Calif., at farms owned and operated by the Glass House Brands Inc.

      Customs and Border Patrol commissioner Rodney Scott said on Thursday that the company is now under investigation for child labor violations.

      Glass House, in response, stated it never intentionally hired underage workers.
