could last them a lifetime. These were unsafe working conditions for any person and child. These conditions though, did not just stop at the workplace that made children work for minimum pay, but it also continued on to their homes. The slums and ghettos were also hard times for children. Some children didn't even have homes and had to resort to harsh conditions like sitting on vents because they were barefoot and couldn't afford food.
