Hello Bassem. ( sorry I did not say hello before)

Would you rather learn how many brave soldiers died today in Nahr Bared?

Yes, this is a public issue. You make it sound like talking about that young
man is good because it changes of the "routine", that it is more
"entertaining", while I believe t is a private issue.

The point of the story is to raise awareness so that the reader would be
prompted to do something useful to the child or the orphanage housing the
child.

Using someone's private life and showing his pitcture is not a good thing to
do.

Here is another link on the same site that you may not like either:
Lebanon Government Needs More Funds and Personnel to Protect Children From
Unlawful Labor
http://bbsnews.net/article.php/20070721001703323

The key heading in the article is: Orphanage lacks funds. Hint, hint.

You are being sarcastic and you believe you are more clever than the average
people but you are acting silly.

Why publish his picture
Good question.. typically abuse victims picture is concealed in media.
I suspect that the writer didn't think of this as an "abuse" story but
rather as the story of a child in need and in this context, publishing
the photo might make the reader more sympathetic.

This is like selling compassion , marketing charity and pity. We see that
often on TV infomercials, moslty in the US.

then and why post the link?
Why post the link? To source the story at a minimum. Perhaps to make you
go beyond the story and reach deep in your pocket.

Sorry, I meant why post the story, not the link itself. I don't see how that
story makes it easy and simple to give money to the organization or directly
to the young man, there is no mention nor link of this.
If "you " refers to me personaly, please do not lecture me directly on how
I should direct my humanitarian help, you don't know me.

Why mention they forced him to have "gay " sex,
would they mention "hetero" sex if they forced him to have sex with a
woman
or that would be too "natural" ?
Sexual exploitation of children is usually (though not exclusively)
done by men.

It is his brother who forced him to have sex and he is a man allright - What
is the need to mention details, to make the story more spicy?


Those who knew of this story were may be
better off investing their efforts and money on helping the young guy
with
education, money, shelter, cloths, etc. but then again, it would not be
news, right?

Well, now that *you* know about the story, will you heed your own words?
You sound like a prick here. Too bad, often it was a pleasure reading your
posts.

Thank you for responding.

Done.
