Re: Child Boxing: Exploitation or Necessary?
I saw the program and was also deeply disturbed.. the first thing I said to my husband was that it was child abuse. but do you remember what the filmmaker said? one of the girls, after winning a fight, made about the same amount of money as the average thai citizen makes in a year. and impoverished familes all around the world send their kids out to work in deplorable conditions, some of which are just as dangerous as what these girls are doing, astagfirallah. but I suppose it's just so much more disturbing to see because these kids are being trained in acts of agression towards other children.
