The response here isn't to give money to child enslavers because the alternative is more poverty.

The response here is to demand legislation from your own country that makes it unprofitable to companies that employ child labor to continue to do so. Then they will fold up shop or (way more likely) pay adults more. It's not like Nestle barely makes a profit.

It's funny you cite China as evidence supporting your position, when in fact there /was/ a problem with child labor, American companies stopped doing business with those subs, and now wages are higher, the Chinese economy is stronger, and there's a lot less child labor.

Your argument also implies open borders so factory owners can hire low-wage undocumented immigrants under the table is a good thing.

For every child who earns a low wage, that's an adult not earning a wage at all.

And, to be quite honest, it's not great for your reputation to enshrine in writing your opinion that concern over children getting fingers chopped off in factories is "hysteria."

You can start with a democracy: US. Just a couple of days ago, child labor in US made headlines.
