In the news

Uh? Did you actually read the article?

"Omid (not his real name) is 15 years old. His father died in the fields, when he stepped on a landmine. As the eldest son, it's his job to look after his mother - who begs on the streets - and two younger brothers.
*"I started dancing at wedding parties when I was 10, when my father died," says Omid. *
"We were hungry, I had no choice. Sometimes we go to bed on empty stomachs. When I dance at parties I earn about $2 or some pilau rice."

*I ask him what happens when people take him to hotels. He bows his head and pauses for a long time before answering. *
Omid says he is paid about $2 for the night. Sometimes he is gang raped."

yes. well not all of it. but to be fair i only read as far as "boy"... "dancing"... "fake breasts". then i went back to reading about susan boyle and her peanuts.

you've made me look like a bit of a cock there.

not difficult i grant you.
