[quote=Anonymous]There are no doubt many poor, dysfunctional families who are excited by the prospect of being able to sell their children off to fuel their own addictions and laziness.

I worked as a child (14+), and saw how unscrupulous employers would exploit my peers who were more vulnerable. They knew better than to try their crap on a white LMC girl, but my friend who was the daughter of immigrants was working 8-10 hours every day at 15 for $5/hr. Her family was happy for the money and didn’t care one bit about what it was doing to her. After all, weren’t things worse where she came from? She was smart and had a ton of potential which she never did get a chance to realize.

At the same place, the owner’s 21 year old son knocked up the 16-year old front end manager. After she dropped out of school to have the baby and work full time, they fired her. And defamed her as a slut. And the owner’s son now runs the place.

I could keep going but let’s just say employers like hiring kids because they are cheap and can’t defend themselves. Last place any caring parent would want to see their precious child end up.
