In general, laws about children are a good thing.One hundred years ago in industrial countries,children worked eighteen hours a day in a factory at age seven. The factory owner could beat a child who fell asleep or was not fast enough.Both parents children had no protection under the law
Today,there are many laws to protect children all over the world.Some people think that children must obey rules or be punished.Other people do not agree.The Inuit, or Eskimos,in Alaska almost never hit their children.If the children don't obey,the parents make fun of them
