Child labour: 6 year old boy photographed hawking drinks

Here are photos of a little boy, not more than 6 years old, spotted hawking drinks as early as 10 this morning in Lagos. I know some people need to make ends meet to survive but sending a child this young to the street is wrong on every level. This is so heartbreaking to see!

Do you think there should be some kind of punishment for parents/guardians who send an innocent child out on the streets instead of school? I think we should all get involved. Send a child to #schoolnotstreet! See more photos after the cut...
