Child Abuse

redominant, child labor is well developed with around 500
             million children enslaved in its trap, including those working as
             domestic slaves. Out of these there are over 73 million children that
             are under the age of 10. Children, who should be out in the sunshine
             having fun with their friends, or playing on a local soccer league are
             in actuality slaving over machines in factories or serving families as a
             domestic slave. These frail beings work in places like India making
             rugs that need 4000 knots per square inch. They are sold as slaves in
             Sudan for a mere $15 per child or in Africa for domestic work. In
             Pakistan they are enslaved in the brick industry, in Turkey they work in
             textile industries, and in Italy they sweat over making shoes that

             are hundreds of other children their age surrounding them, but they are
             not allowed to talk with them, if they do, they are beaten. They work
             between 16 and 18 hours a day, are sometimes shackled to their looms and
             can not go to the bathroom or take breaks of any kind. This is indeed
             unfortunate, but what may be more regrettable is that children in Canada
             complain that they earn only $6.85 an hour as minimum wage. For doing
             what, flipping burgers or serving drinks? What they do not realize is
             that they can eat when they are hungry, they are allowed to take breaks
             (in fact it is mandatory), they can socialize while working and they
             work under sanitary conditions with benefits. These children that are
             being exploited earn only 3...
