I think that people who abuse their children are angry and do not have any control in their own lives. By abusing their children they are trying to get their lost power back. In the end it does not make them feel any better and they scar their children for life. Child labor is horrible and is happening all around us. In the Asia-Pacific region, Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean 218 million children between the ages of five and seventeen work. Children should not be working long hours under strenuous conditions, but instead should be at school learning. I have seen conditions that these children work in and it is sad and digesting.
