Bruised Maid Dies at 12, and Pakistan Seethes

It's easy to forget how blessed we are in America, with laws that protect us from things like child labor. Unfortunately, as Sabrina Tevernise points out in her article, Bruised Maid Dies at 12, and, Pakistan Seethes, this is not the case in many places, including Pakistan. The poverty there is so great that children are forced to work in order to help support their families. I cannot believe that Mrs. Tavernise stated that there are 6-year olds are even employed! And even worse, those who are too young to be protected by any sort of law are mistreated. With 40 percent of the population below the poverty line, isn't it time to do something??? The title of the article says "...Pakistan seethes." The definition of "seethe" is: "to surge or foam as if boiling, or to be in a state of agitation..."(according to dictionary.com) I would like to know what Mrs. Tavernise's definition of seething is because she quotes a gentleman saying that he has doubts that justice will prevail. I feel as if there is a general disinterest and lack of concern for the lower class in that society. Hardly seething. If Pakistan were to actually see what they are doing to their lower class and they seethed about it, do you think they would start to move to make it better???
