Tribal kids trafficked to pollinate TN cotton farms

Chasing birds in the Jawadhu hills forests on an August afternoon, 13-year-old Sakthi and his friends Tirumurthy and Prabhu were approached by a middle-aged man offering them clothes, money and mobile phones. The man loaded them all on his motorbike and rode four-and-a-half-hours away to the cotton fields of Siruvachur in Perambalur district.
