Did this film help any children?

Did the filming of this movie actually help any of the children profiled in the film? It seems as if the film was made primarily for its sensational topic but in the end the children, on a whole, did not benefit from the movie. If they did end up in a better place a year later it had nothing to do with the director's help. I also found it outragious that a film crew would allow a ten year old girl to be severly beaten for the sake of the message of the film. The girl could have been permanently damaged or even killed but the camera kept rolling. At that point in the film I felt that achieving realism in the film was not worth having young children get hurt. It is now over ten years later and the director seems to have gone on to other topics. I was waiting at the end of the film for the producers of the film to suggest how the audience could help these children and there was nothing. I was disappointed that so little was done to help these children and the thousands of others that were not shown. Yes, the film enlightened the viewer to the problem in Romania but, unlike other similar films, did nothing to suggest to the audience what we could do. Some may say that enlightening the world to this problem was enough but I disagree.
