These type of people are some of the worst that there are. It sucks that parents feel they are forced to send their kids away to get employment. This is a short sighted answer and to be honest is taking advantage of their own children. These kids can grow up to be so many things if properly educated and yet it is squandered away.

The Burmese president has ordered an investigation into the case of two girls who say they were kept prisoner and tortured for five years in a tailor shop. The teenagers were freed last week after a journalist helped them, but their families say that the police had on numerous occasions refused their pleas to get involved. This really made me sad what the two girls went through.

I can't believe having to go through that.  It's shocking that in a fairly developed world this is still going on.  What's even more shocking is that it sounds like this is probably fairly common in the area.  For the police and authorities to clearly not care about it suggests that it is considered to be a non issue.

It is incredibly alarming that slavery is still being perpetuated in certain parts of the world. I am particularly disturbed by the fact that the parents willingly sent their children to this tailor. How disturbing. These young girls were robbed of their innocence and their parents did not sufficiently protect them.
