“At the age of ten, Mintu had developed some kind of resistance to minor assaults and beatings….his employer began poking him with a stick and burning him with iron rods.” source

    Child labour is an abomination. Why cannot perpetrators of this kind of abuse not have their property impounded and sold to help their victims? Anyone who can put a child through this kind of abuse deserves to be shot on the spot.

      Corruption. The system will kill you before you get justice. Court cases here go on for decades. The police are corrupt, the politicians, even some "activists". I don't mean to say that we should not do anything about it. We must stop this but it is an uphill battle. I am willing to fight it, however.

    Prayers won't do anything! This needs REAL action!

    As humans we must develop the ability to feel the pain of others exactly as if it is our own. We must look at these children as if they are our own and. If you say, but what can I do? You can start by making sure that all those in your family, your extended family and community have the same conditions hat you enjoy. This is what "Charity starts at home means". When we realize that we all interconnect through love and empathy we can correct the whole world by the way we treat those around us. Apathy and egoism causes the kind of picture, and much worse than this, that you see here. Everything is created or destroyed with intention. You serve yourself, you create this!
