Its not fair for some hollywood big shot to use his money to pick starving, homeless children off of the street, make them famous, give them some reward and when they get put back into the slum, get mad because they are asking for more. Its his own fault. the thing is, if anybody has ever seen the conditions of the slums in India, then you will understand how stupid it was for these kids to be used in the film because they get all this fame and luxury during the process then after you just stick them back into the slums, until the kids are eighteen and the money given to them can be used (this is what i heard), its not fair, and then the distant relatives of these poor kids who have disappeared for years on end turn up out of the blue because they are the kids '4th cousin twice removed' and demanding they get money because they are 'family'.

You don't even have to add worldwide box office, dvd and merchandise sales alright? They're only asking for a few thous. But i mean, Write them a mil or two dollar check! Jeez, those kids WERE the money. Sure they need help, and help on how to deal with the $$$, but damn, danny boy is fucking living it up because of them.

The children are the ones suffering and I doubt if they see any of the money. It is so sad that the parents are being such blood sucking money whores!

The Trust also pays for a Rickshaw to take them too school each day - When they actually go that is and the Head teacher said they are arrogant and disrespectful to the teachers now. Short of giving them a kidney I don't know what more Danny Boyle can do for them.. They are making money from other projects which is why they are never at school.. so they can logically buy their own car now..

Boyle and his Hollywood cohorts made MILLIONS of dollars! These kids were the STARS of his movie, which would have never been half as moving without them. What's up with the measly demands? Those kids were ripped off and should have had better legal advice. They only got a few thousand dollars for their work. He should give them the money and stop whining. What a selfish ass. WTF?!

I just spoke my opinion based on my firsthand experience with the culture. Of course not all people from their culture will suck people dry for their own personal gain but 9 times out of 10 they will. Besides, the kids are skipping school. They have a future handed to them on a silver platter and are pissing it all away. Many american actors have done that too....doesn't mean the director is going to bail out every kid actor that makes poor choices. Re: f*ckoff – Well if you think I'm lame thats your opinon.

However there are a lot around the world who take advantage of kind hearted people/organisations. Boyle & Co, originally agreed for the children to have a home, good education, clothing, food etc and then when they reach a decent age they receive a final bulk payment. This agreement was the best anyone would ever wish for their children. I feel sorry for Azharuddin and Rubina, because of their families selfish natures they are missing out on an education and a good life and their greedy parent's are risking all their children's futures.

This kind of shit makes me so angry. I feel for the kids...really I do. But they got a break that so many didn't...and it's getting pissed away. Boyle should walk away. And although I know it's hard for him to not think about it, he has too. The parents of these kids are stupid irresponsible losers...and the more money anyone gives them, the more they'll piss away.
