Carrying a heavy load on his head can damage a child’s spine. A stray chip from breaking bricks can blind him in one eye. A dip in battery acid and his hand is a pile of mush. One foul mistake and these children may become maimed forever. Worse still are the conditions in which many children at factories work in. For example, at the end of the day, children who make steel utensils become covered in a coat of silver. These children face serious health risks such as permanent lung and skin damage, as well as getting cancer. Many child workers, such as brick breakers on the roads, are exposed to a variety of people, some dangerous criminals. Children then face the risk of being trafficked and forced into prostitution, away from family. Others resort to drugs, smoking, and alcohol in order to relieve pain or as an escape from work. These very children compose the future of the world. Is this really what we want from them? Let’s act before it’s too late for them and for us as well.
