  1. The Saddest Fact is This is still going on in the World, even in So-Called "Enlightened" Culture in Europe and North America if Immigrants and Refugees don't choose to Integrate into Their New Cultures.

    Nothing changes for People as they get older if their Abusers still control them! It's Time to change hings for the Better don't you think or are you still not hurting enough?

  2. Work makes a strong ,working, Independent money maker…I was born in a Dirt Poor family..my mom had to raise 4 boys by herself…I Loved doing anything to make a quarter, dollar, or more from a little boy…It builds character Fast and makes one appreciate everything he or she can buy with their hard earnings…My brothers and I always had stuff, cause we worked hard for it..Stop the Propaganda, Safe Space , BS..Kids today are Pathetically pampered and Sissyfied…Kids today are Lazy, Disrespectful, Brainwashed…But Liberals are so Happy to make victims of everyone and anything..

  3. Invariably people will type " what about" to talk about other countries but this is an example for other countries to inspire them to end child labor. If we ended it in the early 20th century they can end it now.

  4. I suppose this proves kids are just as capable as adults even if what they are doing is extremely dangerous, there’s kids still working jobs not suitable for them in third world countries because that’s the way it is. They know nothing other than working to get food on the table or to care for their parents, these photos are sad but it’s still a reality for millions of kids around the world.

  5. Back then it wasn't that all the parents wanted to make their children work, it was that the pay was so terrible they had no choice. Even having their children work, sometimes the parents had to give up there children in hopes they would have a better life. The factory owners (not all but alot) back then treated every one bad adults and children. A very hard time back then! And people are always whining and protesting now days over things that are not really that bad now. I think people just like to complain now.

  6. Sorry Pal, But the picture of this so called Sadie Pfeifer in Lancaster, SC @ 1:54 is not a picture of a little girl in front of a large loom in a hall. You are mistaken. I've worked in a cotton mill as well as most of my family, and I question the integrity of this whole video.
