Hard times force parents to send eldest son to orphanage
This is one of the saddest stories I’ve read and watched in years. Maybe I’m naive, and maybe I’m just being triggered by the inherent sadness of this story, but why can’t these kinds of people be helped?
It’s ironic. Today on VH1, there was a show about the top-20 most ridiculous celebrity “extravagances.” Among the atrocities on the list: Bono paying thousands of dollars to have a favorite hat flown across a continent; a 500 sq. ft. doghouse, complete with tile floors and other luxurious amenities, that was more than $15,000; and the burning of almost $2 million in cash by a 1980s European band.
The world’s rich can do these things, and the world’s poor have to give up their children to orphanages because they can’t afford to feed them. It makes me absolutely fucking sick.
