A Childs Childhood Being Robbed

All these are suppose to be great accomplishments for a child, happy moments but sadly in certain countries its means your ready to work 10 -12 hour shifts.
Children being deprived of there child hood is one thing. But having them work in the worse conditions possible is one thing.

They were beat if they were going to slow and not making enough product and if they took to long in the bathroom. The children also had to work incredibly amount of hours they would work from 8:00 am to 3 to 4 in the morning. The factories were so cruel that the children couldn’t go home what they had them do is sleep on the factory floor and wake up at 8 all over again to get to work.
