“Children are not things,” wrote one horrified observer on the Facebook page of Chhipa Welfare Association, the Karachi-based nongovernmental organization that has teamed up with the popular game show “Aman Ramazan” to dole out orphaned or abandoned babies. “In Europe the parents are checked at least one year till a child is given to them. What the hell is wrong with you people?”
Others wrote, “A good thing done in reckless manner is not good, human beings are not trophies, it is unethical from social point of view," and "Shame on you to make it a game show event, what will these children feel when they will grow up? Children are not game show trophies Sir, you are reckless."
