Um, right. People used to live in caves and wear only the skins of animals they killed so I guess if we didn't have the government people would walk away from their homes and stop shopping at Wal Mart reverting back to a prehistoric life.
This is why your question is so stupid. Monte addressed this exact issue for you and you stuck your head in the sand and pretended it didn't exist.
People used to let their kids work in Mines because there WAS NO OTHER CHOICE. Society was not sufficiently rich to allow such a large pool of potential labor go unutilized.
However once society developed sufficient levels of capitalization (read wealth) that it was no longer necessary for kids to work kids stopped working. No of course it doesn't happen over night, it took time but once the level of wealth was sufficient that child labor is no longer profitable then child labor will always stop. If the level of wealth is not sufficient to abandon child labor then attempts to legislate it out of existence are doing nothing the legislating a famine into existence.
