Behave well with them

In the daily newspapers, more or less every day, we read news about torture on domestic helps. Most of the families in the cities keep young children to do all types of household chores. It is really pathetic that these children, who should have gone to school to acquire knowledge, work as domestic helps due to extreme poverty. Moreover, they are not treated properly by their employers. They are frequently tortured and abused. In many houses the house mistresses force the young children to work much which is inappropriate for the children's age. If they fail to do the assigned works properly, they are beaten inhumanly. Sometimes the torture costs their life. Likewise, many other working children are deprived of their basic rights. So I would request everyone of our society, please do not employ a child as your domestic help, and if any of you have a minor domestic help in your house, show some kindness to that poor kid.
