    This is giving so many Oliver Twist vibes that you’d think it’s a parody.

    Usually these stories go like “Let’s give the child workers lunch breaks” and you find the mandatory “There should be no child labor in the first place” in the comments, next to a link to the orphan-crushing machine.

    This feels like a meta-joke. Instead of adding a little good to something horrible, they add appalling to horrible. I actually checked if this was the onion posting or if the post is from April 1st, but no; it’s just the United States. XD Good luck to all of you.
