To add to this, the instinctive response that "children who worked historically worked under better conditions" -- validity aside -- is an argument for better labor laws, not specifically child labor laws.
But yeah, imperfect world. It's much more difficult to deal with problems rationally than it is to deal with them emotionally.
Send more condoms. Then get someone in marketing to convince them it's cool to use them.
"A Thai waiter wears a condom over his head while serving a cocktail as a patron looks on at the Cabbages and Condoms restaurant in Bangkok on July 8, 2004. The restaurant, founded by Mechai Viravaidya, better known as "Mr Condom", aims to educate the public about safe sex."
MP Meechai became so famous for promoting the use of condoms in rural Thailand that a condom is now commonly referred to as a meechai. True story bro.
I used to date a girl whose father owned some sweatshops in Honduras. She was really pretty and Ivy-League educated. Child-labor worked out for her in a big way. True story, bro.
Without those sweatshops the people of Honduras would be worse off than they already are.
