Drinking unpasteurized milk is a great way to get TB among other things. Children who drink unpasteurized milk get the Bovine TB which infects the bones (spine, long bones, and joints), Another type of TB that primarily affects the spine is known as Potts disease. It is incredibly painful and contagious. It can be cured if treated early but often it is dormant and/or without symptoms in the early stages. Immunocompromised people are at higher risk of developing active bone TB. Thus, areas with high prevalence of HIV/AIDS have higher rates of active infection. However, any stress can activate TB (such as starvation). Feeding a child raw milk is child abuse.
The cycle of ignorance will fix itself.

I do honestly feel bad for the kids. Which is worse. Dying of measles, polio, tetanus, ? Or the TB?
These kids are screwed.
