Labor laws have come a long way in American history. Unfortunately, struggles still exist over child labor in many areas of the world. Liz Neisloss shows us how a group of child laborers are rescued from a sweatshop in New Delhi where they are forced to work on delicate beadwork for clothing. Many of the children – some as young as seven – come from Bihar, one of India’s poorest states. The rescued children will get a safe place to live, food and education.
