Child Labor

     Child labor is when children are forced to work by their guardian or parent. That can include begging on the streets to make money to bring home or they can be kept in a house all day and forced to be a servant. The work that the children do doesn't have to be considered bad, it is the hours that the children work and the fact that most of the time the children don't go to school which prevents the child from getting an education. Some child labor is worse than others. Some people might say who cares it is still child labor and it is wrong, i do agree, but some children have it worse than others. The worst type of child labor is when the children have to work in factories. They are forced to work around dangerous machines that can give them life long injuries, or they have to carry heavy items that can hurt the development of muscles.
