I am just glad that they are now printing this kind of thing in the public arena. Even more noteworthy is the fact that these sponsors are being taken to court and punished. Whether the maid was 60 or 35 isn't a problem (although the pic shows a very young skin), it is more important that it has been brought to light, and the cruelty of the sponsors exposed. Until recently, the press were not allowed to publish these stories, thereby allowing the abuses to continue unabated.
We must remember that for every one abuse reported, there are a hundred more maids/drivers/houseboys hidden away & being equally abused by their sponsors and many of those sponsors are from other 'civilised'countries to boot. They have no way to get outside help, often being treat as prisoners - and plenty in households who work the 24/7 shift, with no extra salary, and very little in the way of 'home comfort' whilst working.
Lets be grateful for the reporting of the main facts, even if they couldn't get the age correct.
