we are not blaming african families for making their children work. we are blaming western businesses for not paying africans enough so that they are forced to do this.
the problem is not the lying about the age. discovering that is not about saying those are bad parents, but instead this is proof that the price paid for cocoa is still to low.
there is really only one way to solve this: to stop exploiting labor and resources in those countries but actually pay them enough so that they can live a decent life.
and the way to make that happen is to create awareness in the consumer to make them demand from the chocolate producers that they actually make an effort to fix this.
