Child Slavery in Asia

Child Slavery in Asia is mostly from kidnappings. They received no pay and constant beatings. An agent arrives at the village with care for the parents. He brings two new dresses for the mother and a cow for the father that was usually sick and died in a couple of months. It was all a scam to get the children to work for labor. The children had to live in a den or a small shed. Most of the kids were beaten with sticks and iron rods. They were not allowed to see there parents. The kids that they usually had were (branded red hot irons, burnt with cigarettes, starved, whipped, beaten while hanging upside down, chained up, abused in an intimate way, and kept locked in cupboards for days on end.) According to anti-slaverysociety.addr.com there is a child named Shankar with his experience,

“We were poked with burning cigarettes on the back and legs. If we cried
for
our mothers we were locked in a room without air or enough light. We
were
forced to work for 20 hours a day without pay. We were kept half fed
and
beaten up severely by our masters if we were found talking or laughing among
ourselves. One night I jumped into the nearby River Ganges to kill myself
to escape from this painful life. We were never allowed to go back to our
parents, to our villages.”

Allot of the sweat shops have widows and doors barred up so they wouldn't escape. When the parent does not hear anything from there child, that parent might go and see what is going on at the agency but what they find out is it does not exist. If the parent does find them the master will tell them “I paid for his food and medicine” and they can't leave and they were sent on there way. One child was beaten cause he scratched his skin, he was also beat cause his father came to get him to take him home. He has not had a single day off or got any wages.

Ashok, 8 years old worked a twenty one hour day from three a.m to midnight in a
carpet factory in India.

“I was not allowed to meet my parents for the 7 years
that I worked, though
I would often ask for permission. The only response
was more beatings”.

Basically what they were trying to tell us is that child slavery is horrible. Lots of parents lose there kids and were never allowed to see them again. Some parents didnt even know if there child was treated well or if they were alive or dead. Then there was those other parents who just lost hope in ever seing there child again. Child Slavery. My own thoughts.
