Is Jesus fishing?

2008.07.05

Abdul Kabir – not his real name – is 12 years old. He left his village in Uruzgan and went in Kandahar to work in a relative’s shop. But when he got there, the man did not want to employ him and shut the door in his face. Abdul went to the labour market and two men promised him a work as a bricklayer for one dollar a day. Instead of bringing him to the yard, they brought him in an abandoned building and abused him. Recovered from the trauma, Abdul decided to come back to his village. A taxi driver offered him a lift and, once in the car, he abused him too. He reached his house at last and tried to earn his living from the opium harvest in the field of a friend of his family. But there, among the poppies, another worker tried to abuse him. The boy reacted and wounded the man with the sickle used for harvesting the opium. The twelve-years-old boy has been turned in to the police and locked up in a detention centre. His abuser is free. - peacereporter.net

makaid Great shot. Wonderful way to bring attention to this story. That is horrifying the way there is never justice.

ClaudePechabaden For fuck sake!!! Merde merde merde. This person really isn't having an easy life... He will need a lot of self love to get out of all that. For fuck sake. Why do people abuse kids?

Madoc Very, VERY disturbing story...
I really don't know what to think about that now...

I guess I should just comment on the photo for tonight ;-)
It is very well caught. How can that be?

Daryl The story tells me to be kind and caring to everyone we meet. We can never know what their stories are, or how much they need our compassion, love and care. Excellent photo too.
