Working kids in the market

In the Sunday market that we go to, there were the kids that offer their help to carry the bag of the customer. Admittedly it is not easy to carry the bag when you are buying kilos and kilos of food items. Some of the seniors are availing of such help from those kids who carry the bag for a few pesos in return.

I am not against that kind of work because I think it will give the child the sense of value on the money earned. However, the government frowns on such activity because child abuse can be the case when you hire a child to work for you. And it is better safe than sorry so I carry my bag even if it is heavy.

  • Do you think working kids is a case of abuse?

    • Yes
    • No
    • kids are not allowed to work here
