Young children and even months-old infants are joining the ranks of protesters at Occupy demonstrations around the world. The protest, which began in New York City, has spread to hundreds of cities nationwide and abroad. Some children are being used to carry posters demanding the one percent heed to their (parent's) demands, while others are making the Occupy camps their homes.
