you can't say it's wrong to beat children just because you've grown up in the west...in the east it was common to beat as they felt it would teach children discipline...if she did happen to say that beating children is fine then there's nothing wrong with that, she was just stating her opinion...
it may seem as if there are many suffering in India in comparison to the UK, but the UK only has 60 million people whereas india has over 1 billion people...I stand correct, she can't do anything about it...infact I would say she's doing them good because there are many that are unemployed and are willing to do just about anything....she also said she doesn't treat them like servants

It used to be quite common to send small children up chimneys and down coal mines, too. That doesn't make it right. Yes, I want her to give away money. Vast, enormous amounts of money. But no, I wouldn't be the same. I wouldn't even eat in a restaurant, because I don't think it's morally right to sit around while someone waits on you.
Everything is wrong with it! There's no justification to
ever beat a defenceless child! I can't believe you've posted such nonsense. The size of the population isn't the point, it's the unequal distribution of wealth that's the problem. Of course not everyone in Britain is rolling around in cash. But nobody is literally starving to death or scavenging on rubbish tips for food, either. There's food and resources there to stop it, but it won't end while the wealthy turn their backs on their own people.
