Stop employing children! It’s the worst kind of exploitation. It leaves kids vulnerable to abuse. Employ their parents. Support them in going to school. Treat everyone’s children as if they were your own, with kindness & respect. Be a decent human. #JusticeForZohraShah

When you "employ" a minor for your household chores, you expose them to abuse, you exploit their helplessness and susceptibility!

In short you're the demon!#JusticeForZohraShah
When you employ little children, you are not doing them or their parents a favour. If you want to be kind: pay for their schooling, feed them, take care of them, don't employ them, don't control them, don't beat them, don't kill them. #JusticeForZohraShah #EndDomesticChildLabor

You employ a 7 YEAR OLD to WORK in YOUR home because YOU can’t be bothered to do your own cleaning. And then you beat that CHILD to death? How demonic is family? Anyone who keeps children as slaves in their house is the same as these monsters. #JusticeForZohraShah pic.twitter.com/eMkWJ6kiT6
