Children were sent to work in factories because they were promised three full meals a day and a rounded education as well. This was not the case, as many were starved instead.
It was the children's jobs to clean and maintain the machines. Due to their lack of nutrition, they lost concentration while working and had many accidents as a result.
A child in textile factories was calculated to walk an average of 30 miles a day.
