  1. What sort of people would do this to a very vulnerable child.

    If I were holding the office of the PM i would have taken this girl under my wings, adopted her as my daughter and made sure that who so ever responsible for this heinous act is brought to justice.

  2. It is a reflection on the nation. Have we lost all compassion for the poor? For someone to torture a child and not one voice is raised in her defense, shows the kind of people Pakistanis are. Just shameful.
