Anyone watch Lisa Ling take on child labor and exploitation in India last night on the O network?? Was channel surfing and came across the documentary (forgot the name of it though and moreover, was pissed that I missed the first half hour)…I'm sure a lotta eyes are now open to the issue of child exploitation and trafficking here because of the . BTW, a former exploited child prostitute rescued by STOP is now one of the major combatants for the issues of child trafficking in Delhi (they show her practicing karate, etc. She could kick butt and towards the end undertakes a daring mission to save an underage prostitute who is probably 12-14!!). I wonder if she was Nepali as she looked like one. Few years ago when Lisa Ling left the View, I thought she was crazy to take on some travel show instead. But after watching the documentary last night, she has undertaken a morally RIGHT decision and I'm now glad that she did it.
