Horrifically, children as young as three have been building stadiums for the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India. And worse yet, construction managers have actually bribed poor parents to bring their children to the dangerous work site. It's time to tell the Commonwealth Games Federation that child labor is not sporting.
For those of us on the West side of the pond, the Commonwealth Games are like the Olympics for former members of the British Empire. This year, the games will be held in Delhi starting October 3. Scheduled to compete are athletes from England, Scotland, Australia, India, and several other countries. But construction of the arenas has been lagging, and the Commonwealth Games Federation has been getting desperate to get the stadiums built on time. Their answer? Send in the children!
