Why should such an example of humiliation and degradation to the human soul exist in civilized countries where people now brag about their freedom of conscience and speech? Working fourteen hours a day, the child laborer earns his living. He doesn’t even have enough food to eat.

“Despite the fact that a law against the abuse of children and women is in place, this problem has remained unsolved. In reality, the law will not be able to fix the problem.
