Industrial Revolution/Child Labor

During the industrial revolution there was alot of child labor children at the age 0f 5 were already working odin gthe same things adults did. they picked the youngest kids because they didnt have to pay them that much money or in some cases they didnt pay them at all. the smallest kids in the industries were scavangers they have to go under the machines and that is very dangerous for them and at first they were scared but then they get use to it. children had to work from 5 inthe morning till dinner time and then till 9 or 10 pm and on saturdays up 11pm sometimes up to 12pm. some kids if they make anymistakes will get beat by pieces of thick leather. sometimes children didnt have time to eat at all just imagine how hard it was for them.
