^totally legal in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan. My own relatives have had several children of that age. They've fetched breakfast for me while I read the newspaper in the living room. Yes yes, extreme laziness. Its an unfortunate reality of extreme poverty incomprehensible to westerners who's idea of child labor is confined to sweatshops or diamond mining thanks to movies like blood diamond. Just like people blaming the parents of that Syrian kid that drowned. As someome said, you only get on the boat when the water is less dangerous than the land.
Apart from that, yes Shahadat should be flogged in public if he's guilty. His wife too. At one time was my favorite BD player, SMH. But the guys moral fiber went the way of his bowling.

I don't care what part of the world you're from, having a 11 year old child as a maid is just plain wrong and disgusting.

if they are paid adequately then why not.
If i could afford slaves (and they needed me more than vice versa, thus helping them) id have more slaves than Don Johnson in Django.
I wouldnt bash them though.

Dhaka, Bangladesh
Bangladesh police arrested international cricketer Shahadat Hossain's wife on Sunday over allegations of beating and torturing their 11-year-old maid, an officer said. The 29-year-old paceman was suspended last month when police raided his house after officers found the injured and crying maid on a street in the capital Dhaka. He and his wife Nritto Shahadat had been on the run since.
"Nritto Shahadat was arrested from her parents' house," inspector Shafiqur Rahman told AFP. "We conducted a raid at the house as we had information that the couple was hiding there. But we only found her," he said, adding police were still hunting for Hossain. The maid, Mahfuza Akter Happy, told police and local media in September that the couple beat her, while television footage showed her looking frail and thin with swollen black eyes. Police had found her hand charred with a hot cooking paddle and injury marks all over her body.
A case has been filed against Shahadat and his wife, who could face charges of child repression and employing a minor. Shahadat played 38 Tests and 51 one-day internationals for Bangladesh.
