Could American sweatshops be a good idea for orphans

have you ever been in a group home, half-way house, etc? what you are basically describing is job corps which is already in place. Troubled ophans dont need a job they need a family. Use those resources to find a suitable home. Not some shit job.

If enough suitable homes existed that were inclined to take in a troubled teen then there wouldn't be a problem in the first place now would there? There are too many foster kids, not enough homes for them, and an aversion to accepting a troubled older teen into the home preventing your ideal from ever actually being a reality. Happy stable households typically want babies and small children, they don't want a 15 year old with an attitude problem and/or violent tendencies even if those issues are rooted in the fact that the teen was repeatedly physically and sexually abused by their previous foster family. A lot of these kids aren't going to get families anyway and are simply going to be tossed out on the street to fend for themselves with zero life skills when they turn 18, how is preparing them to be able to fend for themselves worse than that fate?

Look people in most places it's already ok for a 15 year old to get a job so I'm really not understanding what the big deal is here. I'm not talking about forcing an 8 year old to work 12 hours a day in a 100 degree factory for 25 cents an hour here, I'm talking about giving teens with a low probability of being placed in a loving home a chance to get a leg up on the real world before they're cut loose on their 18th birthday.

Sex = Fun
Work = Not Fun.

Do you really think that voluntary child labor in a safe environment is worst than the sex trafficking that currently plagues the system,...

Something being worse doesn't mean that another bad idea is good by that merit. They're both bad; one just happens to be worse.

Has been said before in here: what's wrong with these orphans going to school like non-orphaned children? Do some soul-searching, dude. You're better than this.

Or hell let's meet in the middle, would you be ok with the idea as long as the kids at the camps got bused to school everyday?

Or you know, just crack down on the sex-offenders instead of sending orphans to labor camps?

It doesn't have to be an: "you go to the sweatshop or you get anally raped, little Billy." either/or scenario as you're trying to force it to be.

Well, if labor camps are the only solution in stopping orphans from being raped apparently, what happens when an orphan gets raped while at labor camp? *plot thickens*

a brand new e1 makes about 19000 a year. divide that by 2080 and he makes about 9.25 an hour. Minimum wage is 7.25 (in texas,sc where army/marine/airforce basic training is) and 8.25 in illinois (where navy boot camp is) so not your first statement was wrong. add in the fact that most new enlisted soldiers get promoted twice AUTOMATICALLY within that first year (unless they phuck up) they wont be sitting at 9.25 for long. add in free medical, free dental, life insurance and dependents they make wayyyyyy more.

second part youre comparing forced fun with forced labor

That’s after all the things I mentioned are taken away. How is that so hard to understand.

A brand new private makes around a 1000 a month.

The author was never saying force labor, it’s you guys that’s calling it force labor. He just wanted to see if there was a way to help foster home children learn a trade before leaving the foster care.

Right now under the current system, the kids I'm talking about are just screwed plain and simple. I think it's time we at least gave them another option even if it's not an ideal option.

darth you don't belong here. Go back home to the vs. Forum where you belong. 😬

There's a thread right now about SS combat speed!

Your the one proposing the"magic remedy" atm. "Help the problem NOW" Tends to require magic. Real solutions usually aren't easy.

The best solution to "there's an issue with the foster system" is to fix the foster system, not sweatshops, lal.
