HW in cupcake land

In the story "The carpet boy", the children been solid when they was young.They don't have the right to go to school, and they have to worked very hard. They don't have time to played games, and relaxing. The can't be freedom. They have to live in a place that dirty, it made them unhealthy. The children rights is not respect by the adult. I think, that is couldn't accepted because children have their rights to be free, do whatever they wanted, don't need to go to work, and live in the unhealthy environment.
