Hey, is that even legal???? Doesn't that amount to human trafficking? And should he not be behind bars now?

Having said that, it is also true that poverty pushes people to do the unthinkable. As the say, पापी पेटका सवाल है । We have read about राजा हरिश्चन्द्र in Hindu mythology, who "gave away" his wife and children. Even in Nepal, poor people send their children to rich families to be "dishwashers" or "laborers" or even "babysitters" if they get something in return (usu. money).

Anyways, its apalling. Weren't there reports that the filmmakers had set up a bank account for the child stars or something like that?
