Ohio Boy: Breaching Clothes


Figure 1.--The child in this image is definitely a boy. It is not all that to tell, but notice the cap on the table by the child. The child wear a hevy winter coat. I'm not sure what kind of collar is involved here. It is clearly a boy's cap. A girl would never wear such a cap. The child also wears leather leggings.
