Feral children

Forced labor is illegal, yet so many people are subjected to it. The majority of those people are migrants and indigenous people. There are about 168 million children around the world who are victims of forced labor. Over 85 million are working in hazardous environment. Nobody is around to ensure their safety because their employers know that they can always find someone else if that child dies ("Forced Labour, Human Trafficking and Slavery"). All of this people are vulnerable and taken…

“A war is when the government tells the people who the enemy is, a revolution is when you figure it out for yourself.” This was not true in the case of 12 year old Ishmael Beah who not only had to figure out who the enemy was, but also had to escape the trials of danger that came along with being at both ends of an AK-47.

Child soldiers SHOULD be given amnesty because they have nowhere…

It was a bright sunny Saturday morning, waking up hearing the birds chirping outside. The sun was shining through the windows throughout the house. I can remember sitting in the living room in a tan recliner facing the Tv. When I heard the phone ring the first time, it was around ten o’clock in the morning; I looked over to see my mom running to the home phone that used to sit on the desk in the laundry room. It rang three times before my mom answered. The second time was around 12:30 in the…

after being rescued by UNICEF is possibly quite similar to the traumatic stories of many of “about 250,000 children employed in armed factions worldwide” (Taylor 869). Sociology of the life course effectively assesses what happens to these children when they are separated from their familiar families and surroundings. I believe the following information explains the transition of the children from their family lives to that of child soldiers. “The changes result from individual and societal…

Children as young as 5 are taken, given a gun and told to kill others or die. If these kids do get rescued by peacekeepers they go into rehabilitation. Child soldiers deserve amnesty because they were just desperate children who were abducted and brainwashed into killing. Around the world innocent children 5-18 are being terribly captured. Captured then drugged with…

In the article Child Soldiers, Prosecution, some say that “children are often forced into fighting and have little choice over whether or not the enlist.” Many towns are destroyed by an army and take the children with them for fighting. They have no say in this cause, and if they do, death is upon their short lived lives. But why would people want…
