Defending child slavery to further the goal of cheap batteries for one.
The Transatlantic Slave Trade involved more than the slaves in Western colonies harvesting raw materials, generally slavery was not used in the rest of the manufacturing process in Europe.
Just because you outsource slavery of a specific process of production doesn't mean you aren't involved in slave trade.
The solutions are to sanction the country doing it as to not reward their behavior and find another means of production, or label those companies involved as terrorists and rescue those children, or pressure the government to shut it down. Or a combination of those.
If your industry cannot adapt or live without slavery then good riddance.
So far your defenses have been:
> Might as well exploit these children, they'd be tortured anyway so there's no point in discussing this!
> Only one part of the supply chain is fueled by child labor, so it's not that bad
Which is really sad.
