A 10-year-old girl working as a domestic help at a couple’s house in southwest Delhi’s Dwarka was allegedly beaten up by the two on Wednesday, following which a mob manhandled the duo.

    The article really whitewashes the fact that this child is a slave. They refer to a 10 year old as a “domestic help” (aka: “maid”), which is honestly nearly as disgusting as the couple who bought a slave child in the first place.

    If it’s any consolation, here’s the video of the couple being confronted by the mob (no blood/gore, just mostly slapping and hair pulling and a lot of yelling): https://archivevideomirror.com/?filename=153qkh6.mp4

    They deserve worse, IMO.

      I was thinking about this as well. It’s infuriating that such a tiny child is being forced to interact with monsters rather than being protected and sheltered from them.

      Man mob justice is scary. Might be justified, I mean mistreatment of a slave child, but just for a second imagine you get the neighbor on accident
