The Harsh Treatment of Children Must Be Stopped!

Years ago children didn’t have the rights we have now. Years ago there was no child labor laws, so young children worked many long hours. Many children as young as eight worked in dangerous factories doing work for very little money. These children would work long and hard hours in poor conditions and they still were treated badly. The children needed someone to help them gain their rights. A woman called mother Jones came and helped these children.

Mother Jones helped the children fight to gain their rights. She protests the child labor laws to President Roosevelt. No one else fought for the rights of children like Mother Jones did. Today children have the rights they need and are protected by them. Without Mother Jones children might never have gained their rights and we could still live unfairly today.
