I see in my country(India) there are lots of children do work and earn for their family. Here we have good infrastructure and government is spending lots of money for upliftment of poor and children. Why can't we stop child labour?

Child labor is a social crime. We are robbing these kids of their innocence and youth. It is the responsibility of the state and of the parents to provide for the kids needs and to put them in schools.

All parents have their special planning for their own kids. They fulfill every needs of their child. They plan their future according to their child's need. But, Why why.....they don't understand that other children have also same need and feelings. Atleast they can't help them but stop exploiting them.

How sad! The same goes on in China (and most countries), there are laws against child labor in the United States but it still even occurs here. It's practically impossible to stop it as long as our global society is based on greed instead of survival of the human race; these two concepts are diametrically opposed and constantly at odds. The only bright spot is the fact that our current systems of economy, religion and government are so unstable they are bound to collapse. If we learn anything as a species after this event occurs, we might JUST survive to the next millenium. My hope is survivors will not base their systems on greed and power to control others.

Yes, laws are there to prevent child labour. Then why system fails to prevent it? One thing is clear that the person who is keeping child for labour should be punished more and more. Children literacy should be increase and every school children should be aware of child labour and we should teach every child to inform police or other authority if they find and case of child labour. We are investing money for tomorrow for good future, then why don't we understand that children are our future.
