It is very unfortunate to have young kids risking their lives and working under dangerous conditions. People need to get educated about the circumstances of child labor. Us children in the U.S. are very lucky because, child labor is in fact still occurring world- wide. To this day, this act affects us, because we cannot imagine ourselves working in the middle of the night, rather than attending school and acheiving our goals. Who isn't familiar with Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist story, which beyond doubt describes the lives of children in that era.
We have to be thankful for the people who recognized this to be a problem such as Lewis Hine for his effective photographs, as well as Albert Beverigde for recognizing this problem and bringing it forward and trying to make a difference. Due to their efforts history was made.
