Why do allow children to be exposed to the toxicity?

Children are the future of our nation and they are responsible for what our nation will become. Yet with such large corporations pumping their toxic waste from their products into neighborhoods and environments where children live is such a mistreatment to their rights as human beings.  Such pollution and destruction being added into to their environments places them at an enormous risk of birth defects and crucial child development. However, all these issues are not seen to be more important than a company’s profit or wealth. Most of such pollutions are placed in rural cities where there is a majority of the population is in poverty, because without the money to hire expensive lawyers to fight the toxic waste being dumped in their neighborhoods companies can get away with such activities and continue to earn money. Although the news of such toxic is being thrown away in some individual's backyards, most people in America are in denial or in ignorance of such events. When they cant see such disturbing things about their fellow citizens, they live on with their lives without any guilt or responsibility. It is an absolute dishonest act of equality that companies are doing to the young generation by disregarding the consequences of their actions and choose to continue on with their money making ways.
