Children, the innocents, in whose eyes you can see nothing but dependence and love. How can people make them work in dingy little rooms when it is their birthright to have an education and play. Youth is but once and to think they are spending this time of enjoyment and love working in some dingy work place with monsters as masters who bully these little ones. My heart goes out to them. On the other hand, I have seen so much poverty in my country that the children are sent to work so as to make ends meet. A little boy was working at a tea stall and was feeling unwell. He had run away from home due to poverty. The tea stall owner, instead of taking him to a doctor or allowing him to rest, put his legs in boiling water as punishment. This is inhuman and there was a big hue and cry. The guy got punishment, but what of the little boy ? What can we do to see such incidents do not happen ever.

Hunger of life is worst thing which can pull to any state of downline no matter who you are.Anti child labor day was observed on june 12th.They are seen over in factories,petrol pumps,bakery's,hotels,some homes too employ them.They are there all around us.Simply we cant stop them because they may be the bread
winners for their families.
The government single handedly cant solve this problem. An awareness in civilians should be arised regarding the impact of putting the future generation in small earning labor. Children are innocent,hence mainly their parents need to be given the main awarness about their children life. Additionally the laborers should be penalised highly to an extent that they should not think an option to hire childrens
for low paid jobs.
