Employing children as domestic help: it is physical abuse

If you have children below the age of 16 working in your house in whatever capacity, please immediately release them from this bondage. It is wrong in every way. When children are hired to do our menial work, and provide babysitting to our kids, we deny them the opportunity to study, play, and enjoy the brief time that they have to be the kids that they are. You might feel that you have rescued them from their undoubtedly terrible lives. You are just indulging in a spot of very dubious rationalisation to justify what you know to be wrong. Would you put your child to work ? Or any child of your social class ? Answer this question honestly, and you will be able to do the right thing.
