Not necessarily, it would depend upon the laws of the state where the young woman resides. In some states the young mother and the unborn child could become wards of the court. Generally this type of situation is handled on an individual basis rather than using one applicable standard to govern all such cases. Having a child does not emancipate a person.

Why child labor is wrong?

IT is wrong because

Throughout the world, thousands of children are working as domestic helpers, performing tasks such as cleaning, ironing, cooking, minding children and gardening. In many countries this phenomenon is not only socially and culturally accepted but might be regarded positively as a protected and non-stigmatised type of work, and therefore preferable to other forms of work, especially for the girl child. The perpetuation of traditional female roles and responsibilities within and outside the household, and the perception of domestic service as part of a woman's apprenticeship for adulthood and marriage, also contribute to the low recognition of domestic work as a form of economic activity, and of child domestic labour as a form of child labour.

(Lassie) had some heartstring-pullers involving kids caught in all kinds of freak accidents ( some, possibly inspired by the Kathy Fiscus tragedy a girl being recovered ( dead) from an accidental fall down a well- this stuff is not entertainment- and if feasible might violate child-labor laws themselves- the Movie moguls saw this potential hazard ( to both business and life and limb of kids) so used small-sized or midget adult actors ( for example Mickey Rooney) for juvenile roles- or better yet, played around with the mixing tape- and voila!

How you can help end child labor?

Child labor is more prevalent in poor countries in which families feel that they need the money that they can get by sending their children to work. Or, in politically unstable countries in which children are sometimes recruited as soldiers. In a more prosperous and peaceful world, the problem of child labor can be solved much more easily. And that in turn requires many things. Population control is vital - the world has only so much resources (real estate, food, etc.) and it cannot support an excessive human population at a good standard of living. Obviously, people will have to stop fighting about religion and political disputes and start cooperating to make a better world. And modern technology will have to be imported into less developed areas of the world. Those are the basic requirements. And after that it will still be a lot of work to solve social problems. And global warming could be another major problem that will have to be dealt with if the human race is going to make any real progress. So, it's a big job.

Foreign child labor in third world countries?

During the 1990s, a new issue of child labor moved into the forefront: imported foreign goods that were produced by foreign "sweatshops" employing child labor-legally repugnant in the United States. As more domestic or multinational corporations opened facilities in foreign countries-where labor costs were cheaper-the problem worsened. The FLSA prohibits sweatshops. The U.S. department of labor considers a work place to be a sweatshop if it violates two or more of the most basic labor laws, for example, child labor, fire safety, minimum wage, or overtime hours. Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) has been at the forefront of legislative initiatives, including the Child Labor Deterrence Act, still pending as of mid-2003. The act would prohibit the importation of manufactured or mined goods that are produced by foreign children under the age of 15. Meanwhile, President bill Clinton signed Executive Order 13,126, "Prohibition of Acquisition of Products Produced by Forced or Indentured Child Labor," on June 12, 1999.
