The picture appeared on August 5, 1948, on the front page of the "Vidette-Messenger," the regional newspaper for Porter County in the US state of Indiana. There was a short caption:
"A large 'For Sale' sign in a Chicago yard silently tells the tragic story of Mr. and Mrs. Chalifoux, who are facing eviction from their apartment. Seeing no other way out, the unemployed coal driver and his wife have decided to sell their children. Lucille Chalifoux turns her head away from the camera while her children look on in amazement. On the upper step sit Lana, 6, and Rae, 5. Below are Milton, 4, and Sue Ellen, 2."
болаларга кўп раҳмим келади. уларни териси юпқа жуда, жароҳатлари жуда чуқур бўлади ва бутун умрга қолади
