Of course, once the child returns with the revenues, none of this will be in their hands, but they must give it all the person who forces them to work. The child almost never receives some kind of benefit from the money he earned working, because in reality, who submits it is who keeps it to invest in issues that have little to do with the welfare of the family, such as: drugs, alcoholic beverages, among others.
In the majority of cases of child labour, children are forced to play armed very risky activities for his life such as theft, drug trafficking, prostitution, among the most recurrent.
