The real problem

Re: Four year old street vendor 

The problem in my understanding all started from the mum when she was a young girl. She didn’t have a vision in life. 

The fact is, when she was sent to school she didn’t worry at all about her future. Sa too much kaukalikiki, soso’o ai ma le fai koalua laikiki now she is reaping the fruits of all that. 

It all comes down to the individual parent’s past. Blaming the government and whoever in cases as such is not always right. 

A lot of youngsters who are forced to child labour are children of those young women who have children from different fathers. 

Kake ofo i le mafai oga ku’u kiai gei alualu koko e momoe i luma o faleoloa ma fa’asavavali aku i le leva o le po i le fia o maila.
