No one is blaming the children. The blame lies with the authorities who allow this to happen and parents who produce children when they can't afford to bring them up.

Child labor is a common factor in any third world country. India is no exception. Those labourers are coming to major cities as a family to work. It is easy to spit on such poor people, but difficult to show some love and care. Be brave enough to show some mercy to such children rather than blaming them

No I thought that it had been outlawed. What surprised me is that they can allow it with all the world cameras watching the cmg. My bad i suppose :(

those children are the kids of labourers working there. those kids dont have much else to do. Hence they help their parents in their work.
