Banning Child Labor Pushes Street Kids Into Crime
from the article: "The world over, as per the estimates of the United Nations, there are up to 150 million street children. Almost every city in the world, even the biggest and most developed ones, have street children. These children are vulnerable to all forms of exploitation and abuse."

Laughing also, I threw the bails on the truck for my friends down the street...don't know How I did it...the bails were bigger than me... a great sunday dinner was my pay.
Bobby Barrows was baling the hay in his small field down the street from us, and was having trouble navigating the baler through the bales on the ground. I went in and rolled the bales out of the way. Got paid a nickel.
Nobody told me or him that we couldn't do it.
Far better if the whole package could be achieved, but not by libtards who confuse education with brainwashing.
320 million USA population
1.4 million homeless students in the USA
no figures on homeless children
Millions if children are starving in the USA the closest number II could find openly stated.
1 in seven families rely on food banks or pantries or food stamps
25% of military families rely on food banks, food pantrys or food stamps
Number of food banks ???google had no answers but every state has them . One organization http://FeedingAmerica.com is a nationwide network of 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs that provides food and services to people each year.
You don't get precise figures anymore but they all stem from USDA and local school districts.
Here's another 49 million Americans going without food and are food insecure.
'Food Insecure' has now replaced hungry or going without meals. If you want to know what a good job Obama has been doing go to http://www.childtrends.org/ and leaf through the pages.but take another deep breath. It's either hearr breaking reality in it's scope or in it's mendacity.
But the new way of viewing the situation seems to center around food insecure which is defined as a family that cannot put food on the table at least one time some time during the year.
Here's a few more statistics in contrast.
In FY 2015, USAID provided over $2.5 billion in emergency and development food assistance to the poorest corners of the world. Contributions included almost 1.2 million metric tons ...
one lady commenting in one of mega multiple but not much with facts said she pays all her bills with her salary except food, visits the food bank once a week and hasn't stepped foot inside a grocery store of any kind in over ten years. three children and is NOT on welfare.
So let me state again. with a food bank or pantry on every corner and those operate on donations with 1.2 million metric tons (each 1000 kilos at 2.2 pounds or one long ton in non metric 2,200 pounds) being shipped overseas every year. with a social services worker in everyones hip pocket like a block warden doing whatever, with government food donatons not counted in the food bank program apparently With all of that not to mention the suspect figures With WIC and Unearned Income Refunds with welfare with all of that
How the hell do we have that many children a. on the street and b. starving.
Another Obama failure except in the redefinition portion and his preferred follow on is tax cut hillary? Obviously if it's true then Obama must take the fall and that will be his legacy.
Oh yes and one thing more. Where the hell are the real COLA increases for the last eight years Mrl Obama while you and your Queen dine in Paris. One percent COLA No percent COLA one half percent COLA Obama your legacy is one of shame shame shame and that goes for your wanna be replacement. No military pay raises after he has cut them in half and still that many on the dole just to survive.
Last time that happened was during Carters reign of terror and the answer was all the troops on Fort Bragg that needed food stamps were marched from the Fort to the nearest welfare facility where they stood in line silently, many with their families and the TV cameras recorded it all.
It's either lies or it's truth. If it's lies shame on us for believing and allowing it to continue. Iif it's the truth have our last three or four Presidents check in at the nearest prison facility.
Making a separate topic of it as you wish.
So obviously I agree with the conclusion of the article. I can only see the culture And the governmental idiots as preventing the learning of some valuable live long lessons, but for those kids in India...they have been deprived of a whole lot more.
In this country, billions of dollars are spent by local governments to provide things to"keep kids out of trouble". (Which by the way I've never agreed with) Maybe we just need to make it easier for them to get a paying job, at a younger age.
