They worked in hazardous conditions that were more appropriate for adults. In some cases, children would lose body part when working on high powered machinery with little knowledge or training. Other times, when children worked in mines, the smoke was unhealthy for their young lungs. The fumes would give them lung diseases. Overall, work for children was considered as threatening toward their lives.]]> 2019-04-02 15:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/1040206/liw9gd762uz/wish/347680267 1040206 https://padlet.com/1040206/liw9gd762uz/wish/347683353 Young children would go to work because child labor was a common practice throughout the Industrial Revolution. It is estimated that in the early 1800s, nearly 50% of the workers were under the ripe age of fourteen.

However, some businesses would take advantage of the child workers. Several treated the children no better than slaves and forced them to work long and earned little pay. Other times, different businesses believed that they were helping the children by feeding them and keeping them from starving from death. These businesses were not the type to trick children into their cooperation. ]]> 2019-04-02 15:33:56 UTC https://padlet.com/1040206/liw9gd762uz/wish/347686604 1040206 https://padlet.com/1040206/liw9gd762uz/wish/347688690 Child labor laws began to develop in the early 1900s. There was an argument about these laws, because businesses liked the cheap labor that they could earn with innocent children. Some families also did not like the child labor rules because they needed their children to bring money home to them. However, laws were eventually passed. ]]> 2019-04-02 15:37:37 UTC https://padlet.com/1040206/liw9gd762uz/wish/347688690 1040206 https://padlet.com/1040206/liw9gd762uz/wish/347690719 Even though some citizens were frustrated about the child labor laws, they had to be passed for the sake of the children. These laws placed minimal limitations on child labor. It also set a minimum wage and put limits on how many hours an employee should have to work. ]]> 2019-04-02 15:40:58 UTC https://padlet.com/1040206/liw9gd762uz/wish/347690719 1040206 https://padlet.com/1040206/liw9gd762uz/wish/347693280 2019-04-02 15:45:09 UTC https://padlet.com/1040206/liw9gd762uz/wish/347693280 1040206 https://padlet.com/1040206/liw9gd762uz/wish/347694368 2019-04-02 15:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/1040206/liw9gd762uz/wish/347694368 1040206 https://padlet.com/1040206/liw9gd762uz/wish/347696513 2019-04-02 15:50:36 UTC https://padlet.com/1040206/liw9gd762uz/wish/347696513 1040206 https://padlet.com/1040206/liw9gd762uz/wish/347698821 2019-04-02 15:54:52 UTC https://padlet.com/1040206/liw9gd762uz/wish/347698821 1040206 https://padlet.com/1040206/liw9gd762uz/wish/347699897 2019-04-02 15:57:07 UTC https://padlet.com/1040206/liw9gd762uz/wish/347699897
