The most innocent phase in human life is the childhood. It is that stage of life when the human foundations are laid for a successful adult life. It is the phase when we are carefree, fun-loving, learning, playing…
Go back into your childhood and for most of us, there are beautiful memories. But, this is the story of not too many children.
Yes, there are far more children scarred and tormented. They hate their childhood. They would do anything to get out of being controlled and tortured by others. They want to break-free from this world. Some manage to get out and get a better life, but many continue to be where they are, not out of choice, but force.
There are industries and individuals, who employee young innocent children. They put them to work under gruelling circumstances. They make them work in dangerous factory units manufacturing fireworks. They make children carry load even heavier than their own body weight.
The main reason is poverty. Families need additional sources of income and unfortunately their poverty-stricken way of life makes them so ruthless that they sell their children as commodities to exploitive employers. Most such employers pay a lump sum for the child and then keep him or her.
