The day after I get my iPhone I hear that the factory in China that is manufacturing them employs 13 yr olds. This would never, ever be allowed in the States. We deem this unfair and cruel. Yet, it is ok if they aren't in America? Guilt crept in. I try to be careful & aware about what I purchase, but I let my guard down for an iPhone. Reading this article nearly brought tears to my eyes. What can ...we do?! How about every time you use your iPad, iPhone, or any other electronic device for that matter, think about whose hands have touched that item before you even bought it. Think of their quality of life. Was someone beaten in the process because they didn't work fast enough? Did someone die at the factory while making it? Use those thoughts & feelings next time you make a purchase. Check where it was made. If it wasn't in America, chances are those people aren't treated right. Research companies you buy from. "Your dollar is your vote." All I can think to do right now is share, spread the word. Maybe someone smarter than me will create a plan of action. Use these devices that people suffered to make for us to spread the word. Let's protect human life.
