A 6 year old baling hay?….child endangerment
Shame on all of you who sit in judgement of others!
Child endangerment Amish style ! !
Those steel wheels will get you every time.
You just have to ask, what the hell was a six year old child doing baling hay?
Tragic isn’t, another unconscious parent/guardian.
LVS, I grew up on a farm and I can’t remember a time when I didn’t help bale hay. It’s part of living on a farm, everybody helps.
I did too. But, there were some things a responsible farmer and parent did
to protect a six year old. Having him on a moving hay rack is pretty dangerous.
