i can see how children starting to learn how to support themselves and i am seeing this more and more recently. before i was not much too aware of the plight of the poor people. but now i can people on the street , the children looking for jobs for themselves. and i see it on the news also. children are the one supporting their parents it is just so sad how the kids are forced to work too early in life. and they expose themselves to conditions that would expose their fragile bodies to health risk.

how young is it that they allow you to work over there? over here, children have to be a certain age and they still have to have a work permit. i think the age is 16.

here in our country there's been a long standing issue over child labor and what's sad about it is there are certain foreign entities involved over their plight. there are factories operating in well concealed places and the authorities have no way of reaching them or if they know about it, they are silenced with protection money these aliens give them. i have known minors who are working at age of 9, i've seen their condition but as they say, beggars can't be choosers!

People have always been tired of poverty. Especialy when we ourselves are well-off, it becomes very disappointing to think that there is so much poverty in the world.
Actualy, there need not be so much poverty. There are plenty of food resources in the world. But there are some big hands who hoard a lot of food. They do not share. Poor people do not get any food, even if they work hard.
