When i read title like this I can't help but wonder, are those kids going to better off without their income though ? My humble guess is that not every family have parents who can support their kids or have access to social care system that can prevent whole family to scrap by to be able to get by.

I think the answer is the parents of those kids need to be able to make a living that can support their children. Yes they might be worse off if they lose that income but that misses the bigger issue that children shouldn't need to earn an income to help support their families.

There was a CIA sponsored coup d'etat in Ghana that put the National Liberation Council government in power, they made sure resources in the country could be extracted by private entities at the lowest possible cost.

US foreign policy is based on exploiting resources around the world for private profit at the expense of the local population, hence the fascist coups they've implemented particularly in South America the last half century to ensure these sort of resources aren't nationalized or kept out of the hands of private corporations.

That is obvious yet it doesn't happened but i somehow don't see it would happened by e.g. closing the chocolate factories or something like that.

As soon as child labor truly disappears, the workers pool is reduced and workers compensation must go up. Child labor only benefits the companies paying less.

Exactly you don't shuy down chocolate production that's not the evil part, chocolate is delicious and I love it. You shut down the child slavery.
