Poor getting poorer and the wealthy getting by with abuse?

To the Editor,

In the article written by Sabrina Tavernise, "Bruised Maid Dies at 12, and Pakistan Seethes" published on February 6th 2010 addresses the issue of poor people in Pakistan and how a low income creates desperate workers. The article states that Shazia Masih was born into a poor family, and her wealthy employer is being accused to beating the 12 year old girl and later reporting her death. The employer claimed that she died from a skin disorder but the exams are showing 17 different places of bruising. Shazia Masih made $8 a month adding to her family's income of $62 a month, and did so by cleaning floors, toilets, and cars. Poverty is extravagant in Pakistan along with wealthy hiring them for services, exclusively children. The article does not say what religions are most impacted in the region but the article made me think about Muhammad and his hopes for an equal society.
