10-20 years ago if you financially fell out of the boat, family friends or neighbors could help out of your problems. This days everything is so expensive that it’s almost impossible for others to help you out. Even if you do your utmosts best to pull yourself out of your financial problem. The smallest mistake can pull you whole down again.
So I was reading this post about the mother who trafficked her daughter because of financial reasons. Surprisingly nobody talked why she end up trafficking her own daughter for housing, shoes etc. Would the mother do the same if she could afford housing, shoes etc on her own?
I’m more curious in how we as a society could prevent all of this from happening.
We should go to the root of this problem instead placing a bandage over it. I mean her daughter had to be trafficked first before people even cared about her. A mother/father should never be uncertain about being able to have a roof over the head of her/his children.
All this article is focusing on is how the mother got Nike shoes in return. This article doesn’t care about the child, only the sensation it can create around it. The elephant in the room here is that human life standards are going downhill.
We are all talk until we end up in the same situation where you have to make decisions to survive.
This society is so fucked people don’t know the real value of life anymore.
I hadn't seen it either - thanks. Now, that said, I think you're giving the woman far too much benefit of the doubt here. She sounds like a total loser, not someone who just fell on hard times or something.
I agree with your general sentiment that we SHOULD have far more "financial bandwidth" - the destruction of benevolence is by design and they do it from all angles, so financial certainly is one. But I just can't extend this argument to justify this woman having done this....
