Lindsay Lohan criticized for claims she helped 40 children from India

91025X1_LOHAN_B-GR_01-lindsay-lohan-lax1-393x590Poor Lindsay Lohan can’t seem to do anything right in the public’s eye.

Lindsay is currently in India working with BBC documentary  about the trafficking of children.

It was Lindsay’s Twitter post on Dec. 9 that promoted the criticism. This post was deleted today.

“Over 40 children saved so far…… Within one day’s work…… This is what life is about….. Doing THIS is a life worth living!!!”

According to the Telegraph.co.uk, a leading social activist and lawyer named Bhuwan, who said Lindsay and the documentary crew wasn’t there for the child rescue organizations and wasn’t even in the country at the time.

While some are saying Lindsay or celebrities in general, do these kinds of things for publicity, I would have to disagree. Lindsay in particular gets plenty of publicity without doing a thing. She’s followed by papaparazzi every day. She DOES NOT need publicity.

Lindsay, and other celebrities, do charity work to bring their voice to problems in the world that people aren’t aware of. Her voice will be used for the publicity and more than likely they filmed her a little with the rescued children or children who had been rescued in the past. Celebrities help bring attention to problems being sweeped under the rug.
According to Bhuwan, the children were freed on Tuesday before Lohan arrived in India and a day before she and her BBC Three film crew visited the Ashram rehabilitation centre where the children were taken before being returned to their families, according to the story.

A BBC spokesman told the Telegraph:

“Lindsay Lohan has just completed filming in India for a BBC Three project on child trafficking. We would like to stress that she did not say she was present at the raid, this is a misinterpretation. She was merely referring to a raid that happened connected to child trafficking – the subject of the programme.”

I think Lindsay’s Tweet wasn’t saying “she” personally rescued 40 children. She was saying that while she was working on this project, 40 children had already been saved.
