Yes, it is truly heartbreaking to see such scenes. Childhood should be filled with care, comfort, and learning not hard labor. Every child deserves warmth, safety, education, and love, so they can grow up with hope and a chance for a brighter future.
I think you're living in a dream world. Most children don't have a safe home at all, let alone being well cared for or loved. Most girls are a good example of this.
The safe home you're talking about doesn't exist in at least 90% of cases. Children who are afraid to be at home, children who are severely abused, children who are malnourished, children who are ignored, children who have to take on an adult role simply because one of their parents is ill or because their father has run away. Let's not pretend that the family is a safe haven and that everyone sits cosily at home and learns something from hanging around in front of the television. This is certainly not true.
