The question would be, if those labors don't get to work in a factory, what other option would they have? Prostitution, mineworkers? Or would they just be killed off when they were a baby?

Besides being factually incorrect (I mean, I don't eat chocolate bars made in china, last I checked, and I drive a car made in Japan), your question commits the fallacy of the false dichotomy. The options are not either to work under horrible, sometimes deadly, conditions or engage in prostitution or die. Working conditions can be improved and the standard of living can be raised, especially if the workers organize themselves and stand up to the factory taskmasters. We can help them by putting pressure on the Western businesses that use the factories to manufacture their products.
