On Wednesday, hours after arriving in India, Lohan had tweeted boastfully: “Over 40 children saved so far…… Within one day’s work…… This is what life is about….. Doing THIS is a life worth living!!!”
But the children were rescued on Tuesday, says Bachpan Bachao Andolan, which helped police plan and carry out the raids on the sweatshops where the children, some as young as seven, were making mirrored ornaments for export.
“It’s technically wrong, ethically wrong and legally wrong to say she saved 40 children in one day. We are talking to our lawyers and will soon decide what legal steps we can consider,” said Bhuwan, a lawyer working with the Andolan.
