Answer 1

Some families may be against the Factory Acts because they believe that the government is not doing enough to help children who have to work in factories. They may also resent government interference in how they raise their families, believing that it is their own responsibility to decide when their children should start working. Additionally, some parents may feel that factory owners are being unfairly targeted by the legislation. Finally, there may be some parents who support the idea that children need to learn how to work at an early age and therefore see the Factory Acts as unnecessary.
