During the Industrial Revolution, fabric owners exploited children like never before. Children were hired to work long hours. The working conditions children had were so poor and the risks, major. Factories owners hired them because they could be paid lesser than adults, were more easy to control and sometimes, for their size, they could access difficult places more complicated to access for adults. The big issue with these actions besides the risk was that children had to drop school in order to help their families to get some money for better living conditions.
