Child labour in Tucuman

Walking on the streets in our province it’s common to find children working. On the avenues, you can see them when the traffic lights are in red. Little children or teenagers cleaning the windscreens and they are paid a few coins for their jobs.
If you are constantly visiting bars and pubs, you will find kids going around those places very late at night selling candies, flowers or just leaving cards on your table for you to cooperate while their parents are waiting for them near these places to control the earnings their children provide to them. Some of these children are carrying their little baby siblings and with this picture you feel blame of giving or not some money to them. One the one hand, you know that if you go on giving them money, you’re encouraging their parents to go on making their children work, when it is their responsibility to do it. But on the other hand, if you refuse to give them money, you know these kids may be severally punished for it. And it is something difficult to realize, but I think I can’t find a proper solution. It really makes me angry to see so many children working on thee streets when they should be studying at schools or playing at home. Enjoying their childhood, not working. They are being exposed to several dangerous situations at night, and nobody is doing anything for them. Politics do not pay attention to this situation. They are too busy preparing their political campaigns for the coming elections so child labour is an issue which would be still on agenda until the state be finally conscious of the damages that they are causing to these children’s lives. I hope it won’t be late.
