Dark side of the chocolate

Te video was about de dark side of the chocolate, it was about a man who started an investigation about how children work in the plantation of the cacao.
The video shows us how there are a lot of children who work in the plantation of the cacao because their parents force them to do it, and if they don't have money when they get back home their parents punish them, it is called child trafficking and they start to work when they're like 8.

It is a very dangerous work because they can get hurt easily; in the video we could also see how the sellers of the most popular chocolates don't even know or at least pretend not to know about child trafficking in the plantations of the cocoa, and they also affirm that there aren't children working in the plantation of the cocoa.

Also the most popular factories of chocolate buy the cocoa from this plantations, and I think this should be prohibited by the law.

The government should do something to stop the child trafficking, and the factories should be punished if they buy the cocoa from those plantations.
