that's a courageous little girl. but let's stop acting like every culture is exactly like ours. sometimes there are reasons things are done, like poverty, etc. when our media talks about these kinds of things, they don't always put them in the appropriate context.

Yeah that just ain't right. I'm glad she's out of such a violent and unhealthy situation.
