Stop poisoning children by putting them to work in gold mines!-Petition

Child labor unfortunately is very common in many international countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines.  That accounts for more than 35 percent of all humans affected by mercury emissions worldwide.  Children have their whole lives ahead of them and should not be subjected to such a high-risk of brain damage and poor life.
Several of these Southeast Asian countries are restricting the use of child labor but many of the developing countries with a weaker government are finding it difficult to enforce the laws to keep children out of the mining industry.  The Governments need to strengthen their foundation with stricter regulations and policies to keep children out of mines.  Officials and authorities in each country must not only implement the laws but enforce them by monitoring the mines to ensure children are not be subjected to poisoning working in the mining industry. These young people do not deserve to succumb to the debilitating effects of poisoning by working them in the gold mines
