Child labor is WRONG. They are being stripped of education, and that is unfair. They risk their lives for working, and they barely make any money at all! Kids work to harvest gold, tobacco, fish, nuts, and many more products. In fact, people you know who smoke could be making a child work 12 hours straight! Imagine not going to school. They you would not be able to get the job of your dreams. Kids who harvest tobacco get Nicotine Poisoning. It is very sad.

The children get mistreated and punished for things that are common mistakes. As kids, you cannot put this type of responsibility on their shoulders. These children sometimes run to work with their clothes in their hands just so they can get to work on time and not get beat. If they are even a couple minutes late they will get beat, whipped, or possibly get a longer work day. Would you want this happening to your own children?

Although that child labor can be helpful to those families who need it, it is so harmful to those young children. They children sometimes work up to 12 hours without break. That's longer than most work days for adults today. They aren't going to school, spending time with friends, or with family. It's as if kids skipped childhood and went straight to being an adult with major responsibility.

Child labor is now active in England. Kids at ages 5 and older will begin working in factories, mines, construction sites, chimney sweeping and more. Children will work 6 days a week from anywhere of 12 to 19 hours. They will not receive breaks. Families are relying on their children and one another to survive and support each other. Although the same work will be done, children and women do not receive the same payroll as men. With this being said most companies preferred to hire women and children, so they can get the same work done and yet keep as much profit as possible.

European immigrants are the one who brought the idea of child labor. They are accustom to hard working conditions and believe children should be working as well. The children are working many jobs. The children who are working on the streets do jobs such as shoe shinning, sell newspaper, and even weave fabric. The most high demand of labor tho is in factories and mining companies although.

With all this being said and keeping in mind that it is crucial for the kids to do these things to help their families survive, the conditions of the working environments are not the best. The work places are known to not be very clean. It was also reported that the children get mistreated often verbally and in some cases physically. The children will also get punished for not doing their jobs efficiently or on time. Some of the punishments involve being humiliated or having to have heavy weights on their backs. This causes many injuries and the machines are bringing injuries as well. The children who are not large enough to be operating the machinery alone are in an effort to try and end up getting hurt with the unsafe conditions.

The interview below was conducted between our reporter and Jane Addams, a non supporter of child labor.
REPORTER: How do you feel about child labor Addams?
JANE ADDAMS: I believe it should be stopped and that it is completely obscured.
R: What do you think should be done on the issue?
JA: I believe that the system should be minimized and taken down. These children need an education and should not be working their whole lives in these conditions. They need to have an education. Just because industries are seeing it as less work for them and more profit coming their way does not make it right.
R: What actions have you taken to bring down the system of child labor?
JA: I am the founder of the Hull House.
R: Describe what a Hull House is for the people who are unaware?
JA: A Hull House is a settlement house. Its basically a place the immigrants can go and not work and readjust to the real way and not hard work.
