Most people have no idea how large the problem truly is.
8 years old
Suzan is a girl who's 8 years old. Her father is a hard-hearted man. Once he had a
quarrel with her mother and he hit her until she fell on the floor, and now she
uses a wheel chair. Suzan was watching their usual quarrels from a distance. She
felt very afraid and she wanted to have someone to save her from this horrible
situation. At this time her younger brother got the tuberculosis. Suzan and her
mother were worried and needed money for her brother. During this time the
father left them alone and never came back.
The mother had an only solution, which was to send Suzan to work as a house
servant. Her mistress was always hitting her and she got many deep scars, but
she was always patient only to bring her brother's medicines.
Unfortunately, by the end of each month, Suzan goes to her mistress to get her
salary, but her mistress refuses to give her any money. Her mother and brother
are always asking for money.
What can Suzan do? She thought that she could leave this house and go to work
in any other house. It took her a week to take the decision, because she has no
other option. Two days ago, she received a telephone call, informing her of the
death of her mother. Her brother is so ill and if he didn't receive medical
treatment, he'll die as well.
How many children are suffering like Suzan????
How many are forced to bear responsibilities beyond their years??
