A minor girl's movie clip, a 6-yr-old boy ...Electronic media exploits kids!
Who is going to take cognisance of this?
1. An MMS of a 10-year-old girl (do I need to write what kind of MMS) was in circulation in some North Indian cities and Sahara picked it up even going to the extent of showing the clip along with the news. Though they had blurred the images, it was quite evident what the poor girl was made to do. The psychologist was also on panel and enlightening us that 'demand of such fantasies exist and so is this clip there'.
2. A video-album shows a six-year-old boy taking a peek under a dancer's skirt and look at the tattoe on her thigh. Now the album director, the dancer (dancer, item girl or model, whatever she is) and the child are brought in the studio of Star TV and the ERUDITE Shazia Ji asks them about the rights and wrongs.
The morality lecture continues with a psychologist/psychiatrist some Machiswala in the panel. But then the anchor Shazia suddenly directs attention towards the poor boy and asks him....Tell what you were asked to do (He was the son of Album director so he hadn't used any other person's kid)...and the boy kept mum but she persisted...
It was brazen shamelessness. How dare they could do that? It was all fixed I guess. The album director and model got good publicity and thus came readily to the studio but just what Star News wanted to achieve? TRP, ok but why exploit the poor kid?
No body was bothered, still. The Commissions (Human, Women, Minority and all) are useless, after all their members want publicity as well and won't act. Wish some maverick judge would act...
