According to UN there are 15million children engaged in child labour in Nigeria alone;what hurts me most is dat you will find kids as little as six years old been domestic helps,i cannot even imagine the mindset of such child at dat tender age made to do chores far above their ages,with no parental love,care or guidance.
Why wont they be upsurges of crime,prostitution and indecency in the society,when kids are forcefully made to grow & behave like adults,when they should still be kids.It starts from this little ones,parents, guardians,and society at large should pay more attention to this children cause they are the future and adults of tomorrow
