Leave it to media to glamorize things. Whoever heard of payment in installments? I bet they charge some interest rate too right? In reality there are many girls and boys who work in the capital and get paid certain amount of money every month to send home. It is just plain media exaggeration to say it's slavery with payments made in installments. The news talks of 'contracts for a year' as if there are written contracts made by lawyers. If you actually find these children, they can go back on their own free will whenever they want. Leave it to the western media to feed on the pathoes of gullible readers who understand keywords such as 'slavery', 'installments', 'contracts', which all makes sense to them in their own way. These journalists should do a write up on live-in nannies in the US. Oh there are live in slaves in the US too who live as slaves, and they get paid on installations too. and they have monthly contracts as well.
