Whatever happened to the traditional Indonesian sweat-shop?

In my day, by the age of 11, any child worth his salt would be stitching footballs for some multi-national sporting goods corporation for a dollar a month, and be grateful for it. But kids today just don't possess that "can do" attitude that we used to have. They don't want to work.

I fear that the "Indonesian Dream" is a thing of the past.

Yeah they are becoming Americanized.
 
Its a shame that the parents had to make such a choice. I am impressed with their ability to do so. Giving up a child so that the child will do better is a tough choice.

No matter how bad things are, you still love your kids.

Death is acceptable because there is no alternative ?

Those parents made a decision, a hard decision which is hopefully for the good of the child.
Now if they had just made the decision not to have the children....
Often others suffer from the results of the choices we make.

Poor people should just accept being driven out of existence. They should have even more kids to feed the revolution against the fascists.
