Beating a seven year old child to death because she accidentally released your 'expensive parrots'. Hell has run out of space and the demons walk among us. #zohra

Ya Allah! A 7 yr old child.. for a few parrots? Is this how cheap blood has become in Pakistan? No system to protect the poor and vulnerable. My hands r shaking even writing all this and their hands didn't shake while beating the child so mercilessly that she died?

Did you beat her? Did you gang up on a child and beat her? Did you gang up on a child you hired to care for YOUR BABY and then beat her so badly she DIED?
You're a murderer.#zohra

A little girl was "given" to a couple to care for THEIR BABY.
She accidentally released "expensive parrots" as she was cleaning.
So the couple beat her so badly she had to be taken to a hospital.
That little girl is dead.Say her name.#zohrashah #zohra

Child labor itself is a highly debatable topic. Where some are completely against it, others justify it as a reflection of poverty in the country.
In 2017, a judge and his wife beat up a minor maid working at their house. Tayaba was working in the house of Additional Sessions Judge Raja Khurram Ali Khan. Moreover, the family seemingly had no pity for the child-maid. They tortured the poor soul by beating and burning her.
Regardless of the reason why the poor parents send their beloved children away to work, no one has the right to hurt them or abuse them. Be it physical abuse or verbal. In no way should it be forgiven and those who do so should be held accountable for their actions.
