    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I thank Sen. Iman for bringing this issue to the Floor of this House. Indeed, there have been many cases of children suffering in the hands of house helps. Some of them have been burnt and others exposed to pornographic pictures, like what Sen. Iman has mentioned. This actually affects the growth of such children. They may live without confidence because of how they are treated by house helps. I used to teach psychology; the study of the human mind. Sometimes people react to something. For example, if you want to beat someone and you are not able to, you can have displaced aggression elsewhere. House helps sometimes react out of that aggression that they have been maltreated and then end up expressing it on children. It is good to look into how we treat these house helps. When I came from India after cancer treatment, I was unable to walk for almost three months but I had a house help who was empathetic. She told me that she would not leave my house until I had recovered and able to stand on my own. When it comes to house helps, it also has to do with their personality. We bracket them as not being fair but not all of them are. Some have displaced aggression and others could be bitter from past events in their lives. We need to strike a rapport with house helps because they matter so much in terms of bringing up our children. When we are away from our houses, they are the parents who remain there. In the event that they are not happy with their employer, chances of them displacing their anger on children are very high. They can easily harm our children. Some of them may even cause disability. They may hit a child on the floor and trigger mental retardation on that child. As a parent, you may not know what caused the mental retardation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as Sen. Iman has said, it is important to have documentation of house helps and know where they come from. In case you do not know the behaviors of a house help, it is good to use wisdom and put a spy camera somewhere"
