North Korea Forces Child Labor

North Korea is being accused by human rights organizations of forcing children as young as 7 years old  to work. They claim to have abolished child labor 70 years ago and call what the kids do "team building exercises". The work is often part of school. Most work goes unpaid. They have been known to work in the coal industry, in agricultural jobs, and even fixing railroad tracks.

    Well, they can call it "team building exercises" all they want, but I can tell you one team that isn't being built, and that's between the government and the people.

    I make school children work, too. ;) This is truly terrible though. Unfortunately, a reality in more of the world that North Korea.
