There were a lot of comments asking why the journalist crew didn't pay the money so the girl didn't have to be sold. Think about it. Her father already sold her sister. If they offered to pay the money he would take it, and then as soon as they were gone he would sell the girl anyway. The only way to help a child in this situation is to remove her from it.
Why didn't they remove her then ??. They re a multi -billion dollar organization surely some woke cuck from the company would adopt that poor kid as a virtue signal and could give endless updates and fundraising scams for cnn ...
If you were working on a film crew, would you have $2000 in your pocket to pay the guy? And you would be prepared to try to smuggle her out of her country? And then, if that worked, you would be guilty of buying a child and trafficking her.
Took a couple days at least to set up the whole interview, arranging everything. They knew about the arrangement in advance and had a couple of days - I think someone could hit the fucking ATM.
Nah. I'm sure a quick call to Head office for extra expenses incurred would easily cover $2000 - i mean how much is their total bill already - airfares, hotel accommodation, travel insurance, out of pocket money for their 'hired help/driver/ security' they always seem to have. There is probably at minimum 2 or 3 CNN employees on that shoot , the idea that they couldn't find $2 000 among themselves at a pinch is a bit fanciful. To add, they don't need to smuggle her out either . Organise Parental consent to allow them primary Care-giver status for her 'holiday to the states' for educational opportunities or however they want to frame it. It's not like the Father is wholly disagreeable to the deal he's a willing active on seller of his 'commodity' for finacial gain .. Heck even place her in some lame NGO orphanage or similar while sorting out the details for her passport/ visa etc. It's CNN man , they can pull any strings if they need too ....
