These factories are a dangerous place for so many growing children, as many are often hot and crammed full of workers. Not only are these children working in these conditions they are also paid so little despite the long hours likely based on the fact that they are children. If you won’t pay the children why hire them at all?]]> 2020-11-10 19:34:39 UTC https://padlet.com/matthessa/fx3phqo8r16tjppm/wish/910261405 matthessa https://padlet.com/matthessa/fx3phqo8r16tjppm/wish/910264145 To fight against this we have come up with a short list of things that must change in order to insure the safety of our nation's youth. We must have them meet as many demands as possible!

1. Outlaw the employment of children under 13
2. Pay them as much as you would an adult worker
3. Limit the hours they must work; they are still growing
4. Don’t have youths operate complex or dangerous machinery 
5. No child should have to work in harsh conditions such as extreme heat
6. Allow children the opportunity to receive and education even though they have to work
