Victorian childhood was savage and short. But why? Children were soon dragged into the drudgery of hard work on the streets to earn money, or worse still the abyss – crime, and a brutal life. Today, you will hear a documentary account about the bleak future of children in the slums and about how little but a struggle to survive was the hopeless future that awaited them in life.
