State of children

Posted by: maldiveshealth on: May 7, 2008

500 Ruffiya (roughly 40 $) for compensation to the child who is partially blind from a pen thrown by the teacher tells us everything we need to know.   There is no justice for the children of this country. Again and again, the court system keeps failing the children.
