Abraham Candelario, 23, cradles his son Carlos Herrera-Candelario, 3, during a court hearing where a confidential settlement was approved by Judge Charlene Honeywell. Carlos was born without limbs after his mom, Francisca Herrera, 22, worked in the company's tomato fields that were sprayed with pesticides during her pregnancy.
Abraham was born with no arms or legs after he was poisoned in utero by harmful pesticides sprayed on the fields where his mother was picking tomatoes.
powerful frames, powerful story. No money will free that kids with arms and legs. I hope the company will be found guilty and have to pay lots.
