Yesterday I walked to the PX to pick up a box of raisins and a Rolling Stone. On the way back I saw a lady in traditional black Muslim garb kneeling in front of the Hajii Super Wal-Mart which is what I call the little shack joined to the PX because they sell everything despite 160 sq ft of floor space. At her feet was a terribly small little kid with flies crawling all over his face and knobby joints of knees and elbows sticking out from malnourishment. I looked away and kept walking. Today if I get time I might go back over and give them a box of raisins.
My question…isn’t the mother exploiting her child by dragging him out like that? But how would we know about such situations without exploitation?
