Question

Should you allow a child servant for your old and ailing parents? Your parents live alone in your ancestral village. They are now very old and find it difficult to manage. However, due to emotional reasons they are not willing to leave their house. You worry about them a lot. Even though they have a reliable servant, they are often on their own for long times. In case of any emergency they could face a very tough time. You feel that someone should be living with them on a full time basis but it is difficult to find anyone who will agree to live in a village. One day when you go to visit your parents you find a small girl opening the door. Your mother tells you happily that the little girl named Pinki is the new full time servant. Her father is a driver and her mother is no longer alive, so it is very convenient for them. The girl appears to be 10-12 years old. You tell your mother that it is illegal to employ a minor and the girl should be sent home. However, your mother does not agree, more surprisingly the little girl does not want to leave either.

You are faced with a peculiar dilemma. There are two options in front of you.

i) You can force the girl to go home and prevent her from working in this house again.

ii) You can tell your parents that employing a minor is an offense under law. If they continue to employ her you will be forced to inform the police.
