It's not excusable. It's horrible but no more horrible than the rest of the child exploitation globally to make the stuff we want which is not possible without....child labor. It is a simple fact of the matter. Point fingers but my stuff and your stuff is made with child labor. No way around it. It is the way the world works. Break it and the stuff starts getting really really expensive. I'm ok with that but only because I have the the coin to pay for it. Not the case for everyone else. They want the stuff. And cheap. Solution? Nobody has one.
