1 / 2

A social media user sparked debate by warning that anyone who employs an underage child as a house help risks abusing them. She argued this practice mirrors adult men marrying teenagers, since both involve power, control and dominance. Her post has drawn mixed reactions from other users. Many agree that children should never be placed in situations where their safety and well-being could be compromised. Others are calling for stricter enforcement of child labour laws and greater public awareness.

I'm not convinced every underage helper situation amounts to abuse, especially when families provide education and proper oversight.
