Disheartening to see these headlines in north america let alone an impoverished nation elswhere, but it seems corporate greed and politics knows no bounds. I have to give those kids credit tho for forging ahead and making something for themselves on their own and at such a young age. pales in comparison to drive and entitlement of american kids of the same age. Seems to be a tough topic to address and even more difficult to find and correct the catalyst.

maybe I'm being naive, but I don't think it's too much to expect corporations to follow the rules that are already in place. doesn't matter where the kids are from, hiring kids to do work is illegal and unethical.

When has any corporation ever done the right or ethical thing, or even expected to do so. Unfortunately it will take legislation to change the outcome of this articles dilemmas and we all know how long that will take.

Saw this comment in an acquaintance's FB feed:

"Turn off your main stream media outlet folks, and let’s get the real TRUTH!"

Had to troll them:

"Could you perhaps provide us with some recommendations on sources where we might get "the real TRUTH"?"

Response: "telegram. It’s a free app."

:rofl:
