Vishal Kumar, reintegration coordinator with Centre Direct — a child rights non-profit, said: The exploiters teach the children to not give out their names to the police or rescuers. They tell them that if the traffickers are arrested, they won’t pay the wages. When the children are rescued, the exploiters ask them not to tell their names to the police, or rescuers as if they get arrested, else they won’t get their salaries. Some children who were rescued in 2015 and are now adults still hope to be paid for work they did 7 years ago every time the factory owner comes home, he added.
