LINK In 19th-Century Britain, People Hired Violent Child Gangs To Do Their Bidding
This is sad but interesting from a historical viewpoint. Especially good to everyone who likes to insist how good things were back then. It's a good reminder of how far we've come.

Abandoned or orphaned children plagued the streets of 19th century New York. To address the problem, the OrphanTrain was developed to transfer thousands westward to the labor starved ranches of the newly conquered Indian lands. It would be nice if authentic historical pertinence was occasionally taught in our failing educational system. Anne of Green Gables was of this ilk.

We tend to forget how rough kids had it back then. On the same token, I think today's kids are way too spoiled
