This website is news coverage by CBS of the discovery of Children working in Cobalt Mines in the Congo. In The Jungle we see some of the young kids in the family, down to age 10, have to leave school to get work in order to help provide for the family. The kids in these cobalt mines do the same. The working conditions for the kids in these mines is intense manual labor, just like many of the jobs at the meat packing plants. The kids at the cobalt mine also get beat, or fired if they aren't "working hard enough".
