Americans, as well as other people around the world, need to discuss the problems that human trafficking and prostitution can create for children and adults. Statistics have shown that many people are affected by human trafficking and that even more people work as prostitutes. I believe…

is that it is a foreign problem, not a problem that happens in America. Because it is such a touchy subject, most people prefer to turn a blind eye and ignore the facts.

Today, more youths are involved in gangs, murders, and assaults than history has shown. So, if these children are capable of committing adult crimes, shouldn’t they face adult consequences?

It may be difficult for the boys to convert back into their everyday life in society after the traumatic experiences they encountered on the island. There are some cases in which feral or abandoned children are rehabilitated or put back into society but most cases are unsuccessful. Many of the boys in this book will probably suffer from PTSD when they go back home, and this may have a negative effect on the way they fit back into society as citizens.
