hundreds of thousands of children are being stolen from their parents, shipped to the Ivory Coast and sold as slaves to cocoa farms. These children earn no money for their work, are barely fed, are beaten if they try to escape, and most will never see their families again. Nearly 50% of the world's chocolate production starts in the Ivory Coast.

Chocolate = Bait. Unless of course Its a chocolate factory with nothing but children being enslaved as the workforce. Chocolate could also be used to cooerce children into doing things for a very convincing individual.

Maybe the child slaves are making the chocolate?

The Children are making the Chocolate and they have to cause they're slaved to or they are working as slaves for the chocolate.

One of the chocolate growing countries in africa uses child slave labor to pick and harvest the cacoa beans, I think it's the ivory Coast.

I don't know but I'd totally offer children chocolate to work in a sweat shop to make custom clothing for me.

kids in developing countries are paid less than $1.00/day to harvest cocoa beans that are used in making chocolate bars sold for more than $2.00
