"Ban on Child Labor Begins in India."
Houstin Chronicle. Octover 10, 2006
A new ban has been created in India that bans companies and people from hiring children under the age of 14. Even with this law many children still are working, some in hazardous conditions. With this new law officials hope to send more children to school to get and education. Many children that were interviewed couldn't remember the last tiem they didn't work some being only 13 years old. But there are many children and families who do depend on the money that their child makes in order to survive. With the new law anone who violates it will be fined although many of them are unsure if the law will be enforced. Oe problem with this law is the worry that if these children can't work that they will suffer and live in poverty.

"India's Latest Move to Stop Child Labor: A New Law Banning Children Under 14 from Working in Homes or Restaurants Begins Tuesday in India." THe Christian Schience Monitor. October. 10, 2006
As of right now there are many children, some being as young as 10 years old, whor work 12 hours a day and making often less than a dollar. Now a new ban has been created banning children from working who are under the age of 14. Although many believe this is the start of ending child labor many believe more could be done. One issure that risses from this ban is creating alternate funding for the families who depend on this extra income. India which has the most children working in the labor force in the whole world will now start to decrease in emotional, physical, and sexual abuse that occures to many children who were working. With the new ban many things will change and be hard to adjust to.

"50 Boys Who Were Froced to Work at Factories in India are Freed."
New York Times. December 29,2006. pg A.9.
For the last two years 50 boys ranging from the ages 8 to 14 who worked 15 hours a day were freed by a local private organization. All of the boys come from poor families who needed the money to survive. The boys worked in an embroidery factory working with needles that would sometimes hurt them. While working the children were often abused and weren't allowed to see their family. Even with the jobs many of the boys were never paid and didn't have an education that they could go to.

"Stricter Law Fails to Deminish the Demand for Child Laborers in India."
New York Times. March 4, 2007. pg. 1.8
After the ban on child labor children are still being employed. Many children work as maids and are often only paid $2.25 a month. People blaim the government for not being harder on this issure. Now many children are sent away to work and make more money even if they don't send the money to their families. The children are sent aways also to help their families to survive because one less mouth to feed means more money to live off of.
