Young Child Rescued From Guyana Gold Camp

Excerpt:

A boy who appeared no older than 8 was found panning for gold in a mining camp in Guyana, a sign that greater efforts are needed to stop child labor in the South American country, the president of a non-government organization said Monday. The child did not appear to be in bad health, but he was "semi-literate," and performing dangerous work that should only be done by adults, said Simona Broomes, president of the Women Miners Association. His exact age was not known, but he appeared to be no older than 8. He was found during in the remote Puruni region, near the Venezuela border as Broome and members of her group performed a tour of work camps to check on working conditions.

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
