It's horrifying really, and a currently unsolvable problem. Pushes for climate change reform ignore the fact that materials for "green energy" involve child labor in mining the materials. Even down to produce, self-proclaimed "ethical" vegans demand child labor unknowingly to stock their local Whole Foods. We hope they fare better than the children in these videos, but... The problem is that the children are desperate, born into horrible economic circumstances. Like the children in these videos, they are faced with a simple choice: work or starve. Everywhere a third world country has ever cracked down on child labor, child prostitution skyrockets. Taking away their source of income stops them from working, but it doesn't put food in their bellies, so they just find a new, worse way to earn money. To end child labor, we have to get to a point where automation and economic success are so widespread, their needs can be met without their labor.

I remember reading a story or two back in the 60's, someone writing about home renovations on the row houses in England. Whenever a chimney was cemented shut or blocked off from being used for many years was an indicator there might be a kid in it who got lodged in the chimney while cleaning it. Rather then saving the kid the business owner would walk away leaving the kid screaming for help..it was common that kids would get stuck in the chimney's, many times the owners of the homes would fork out the expense to get the kid out,.or just cement over the openings to dampen the screams of the child. A century later renovators would come in to upgrade the homes taking out the old stack then find the bones of a child lodged half-way up a chimney. Growing up in the 50's and 60's in rural America it was a common family tradition to have their kids working the family farms. I started to work not only on our 60 head farm, but every farm within a 20 mile radius of my home. I was put to work when i turned 5 yrs old. Anyone growing up on farms knows what different job tasks there is to keeping a farm going. Today's Doctors wonder how it is that so many older people who grew up the rural ares's now have respiratory illnesses along with crippling bone and muscular disabilities. We didn't think of it as slavery back then,rather something we had to do for the family and to have enough money for our Friday night outings. Now when i look back at it, making a silver dollar a day from the other farmers was not an equal trade-off for what I am going through today. There seemed to be that there were no child labor laws back then,.if there were laws they were not enforced.

And never being allowed out of the place, and hearing the continual loud machinery, little if any sleep, beatings if they can't pick enough cotton scraps up and little food. The speaker said they lived in constant terror and anxiety from the situation. They no doubt had little time to feel homesick or to long for good food, they just spent every moment of their miserable lives, fearful of being killed by the machinery. But all of it was horrific!

I am a conservative in rural America. I am far from against social programs, But they need to work. Want to see how well they work, I invite you to come visit?

(They were eventually taken by the state because the parents could never pass one drug test) We never denied them of anything even though we aren't rich by no means and struggle to pay bills at times. Their parents got EBT you could have paid them 50 cents on the dollar for the benefits on the card. They will loan you the card to shop with or write them a shopping list of what you want. You can get groceries at half cost and they get drug money on the taxpayers dime. All the while children go hungry. Same goes for baby formula on WIC. It's not that uncommon or isolated around here either. My son is actually my nephew we took care of since birth. His mother was and is still on drugs. She received government benefits on him for some time. Yet I gladly paid for all his formula, food, clothing and diapers from my pay check. She never spent a penny on him, Where did the benefits go? So I am I evil for wanting to see the money go for what is intended? Or is it evil to keep everything the same while children go hungry for drugs?

I think the difference is in social hierarchy and financial class. Poverty can affect people of any race, and a poor white kid is still going to have a shit life. The difference is, this video gives examples of the poverty stricken, and does not show how royalty lived. A wealthy family, had privileged white children. However a black family, could not attain that wealth or social status. So whereas the life of white people depended on their income and financial birthright, black people were just doomed either way because they did not have the rights to own property or get education etc.. So yes many if not most of white people suffered. but in certain times and places ALL black people suffered. I think that's the difference.

[@PhilJonesIII]

You omit to mention that the conditions for white kids continued for nearly 60 years after the abolition of slavery. Even when legislation existed, it was rarely fully enforced. There was a LOT of resistance to any legislation that outlawed white child labour. My own grandfather was working 12 hour shifts, 6 days a week at age 10 in 1890.....He was by no means alone. Abolition of slavery in the UK 1833.

[@damann187]

you must be american here in England in the 1930's my black granddad own a fish shop in a Irish ghetto, there where only 3 black family's in Bristol back then, i think he came here about 1900.

My God the brutal effrontery of the class system in Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

[@johnbockelie3899]

Some of the top name brand sneakers we wear were made by child labor.

[@tompalmer5986]

We need to boycott those brands. We might be as immoral as the Victorian English and not even know it. But the class system in England up until the twentieth century, particularly among the clergy, is just sickening.

[@johnwilletts3984]

In 1967 at the age of 15 I started work as an apprentice fitter in the Steel Works of Sheffield. The only Health and Safety talk I can remember from that period - “ If it’s not safe, send lad in, that’s what he is here for”. These days of course many of the traditional smoke stack industries have moved to low cost countries, where all this is out of sight.

Patrick Walston probably because it was the norm back than

[@insertname1667]

Patrick Walston because during these times people were too busy trying to ensure the survival of themselves and the own family. Whilst it's really not right what happened to the children forced to work but often they were the only thing ensuring that their family would have enough to survive themselves.

[@pyroparagon8945]

kelly shea child labor done right isn't a bad thing

[@therealmaxspeedster]

People didn't look at kids the same way then. No free public education, only the well to do and up went to school, most common folk could hardly read and write then. Parents could just barely get by on their own and so their children *had* to work just so that everyone could eat. Many parents simply gave or in some cases sold their children to companies because they could not afford to keep them.

[@MK-ji5ri]

What about the children, who where given the task of securing valuables and scrap metal from dead bodies after battles or sieges all over history. They will be in constant terror for searching the bodies of horrificly injured soldiers or even have to take goods from soldiers who were left to die on the battlefield. Diseases and infections were common and later in history also the constant possibility of delayed explosions of mortargrenades or charges was a terror for the young kids. Usually children were chosen for this task, because man had to fight and woman were needed to supply food, clothes and love to the soldiers.
