| Message | although we believe many things are the right of the Local Governments to decide, Child labor is one thing that should not be allowed. The Exploitation of the young ones will cause irreparable damage to them. |

| Message | Child labour is a loaded term - it can refer merely to a saturday paper round which is in the interests of that particular child without causing any mental nor physical damage. |
