The article mentions working from morning to night. Probably much longer than an 8 hour day. Probably serious violations of labor laws. Also no mention of any kind of mental therapy or treatment, or religious opportunity on Sunday.
As to parental careful checking, not necessarily happening. If parents are separated, even less likely. Perhaps travel across country to examine???
My parents required me to do a lot more work than the other kids in my neighborhood, but nothing remotely like what was reported here. I knew we were poorer than the other neighbor families, so I didn’t like it, but I did accept the need.
That doesn’t sound good at all.
A therapeutic farm would be good, where they pick eggs or fruit in their eight hours or do some useful labour for a day’s work, but nothing like this.
