Child Labor

Who could ever guess that children friendly companies like Gap, Nike, and Disney are using child labor to make their products? What about Apple? You know the computers, mobile phones, and of course iPods.
In February 2010 Apple admitted using 15-year-old to make their computers, mobile phones and IPods. About eleven teenagers were found in different factories. Although Apple would not say the name of the offended factories or their location. A majority of Apples products are made in China.
Apples says there are no longer any children being used in their factories, and that they are investigating how an under aged persons was able to gain employment. But are they really? How many other companies have many a change in their ways to that no under age child are working for them? Did Apple just say that so that people would have no problem buying their product?
What I want to know is, is there anyone trying to stop child labor in the world? When will it stop? Can the USA help stop it or are we secretly using child labor too? (Moore)
