The article really whitewashes the fact that this child is a slave. They refer to a 10 year old as a "domestic help" (aka: "maid"), which is honestly nearly as disgusting as the couple who bought a slave child in the first place.

If it's any consolation, here's the video of the couple being confronted by the mob (no blood/gore, just mostly slapping and hair pulling and a lot of yelling): https://archivevideomirror.com/?filename=153qkh6.mp4

They deserve worse, IMO.

Yet another example of modern day slavery

I was thinking about this as well. It's infuriating that such a tiny child is being forced to interact with monsters rather than being protected and sheltered from them.

Man mob justice is scary. Might be justified, I mean mistreatment of a slave child, but just for a second imagine you get the neighbor on accident

The wife was the pilot. She and her husband abused the child.

Okay, same question but change the pronoun to her. Wtf does her being a pilot have to do with anything?

My guess would be to add shock value to the article, since pilots are traditionally held in high regard. It's subtly mentioned that she's a private pilot though, so probably just a citizen with a pilot's license anyway.

I don't think it said he was a pilot.

It's the first word of the headline. It's not the husband, though, it's the wife.

Police said the woman works as a pilot in a private airline while her husband is deployed as a ground staff at another one.
