Why are some companies like Apple and Nike not prevented from using child labor?

I am passionate about this topic because it is a big issue that really needs to be solved, companies like these should no longer be allowed to abuse their workers and take advantage of child labor.
All I know about this topic is that people who work under these companies are being abused and I want to know why it is being allowed to happen.

  2. Look up some companies that have had to deal with fixing child labor. Compare them to apple or nike. Do you think the bigger companies are able to quiet the criticism because of their success and amount of money?

  7. Think about the position they're in. Is there any other way for their families to make money and live happily?
