A disturbing video circulating online has sparked widespread outrage after it captured a young boy, believed to be around 10 years old, carrying heavy bags of cement during an offloading process.
The footage, shared by blogger SikaOfficial, has ignited a heated debate about the enforcement of child protection laws and the ongoing issue of child labor in Ghana.
In the video, the young boy, visibly struggling under the weight, is seen participating in work meant for adults, raising serious concerns about his safety, welfare, and rights.
Many individuals and advocacy groups have expressed anger and disappointment, calling on authorities to immediately investigate the incident and bring those responsible to book.
Social media platforms have been flooded with comments demanding stricter enforcement of existing child labor laws and better protection mechanisms for vulnerable children across the country.
The video has also reignited broader conversations about poverty, lack of education opportunities, and societal neglect, which often push children into hazardous forms of labor.
As of now, no official statement has been issued by the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection.
