U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, “For 2014, a nationally estimated 1,580 children died of abuse and neglect at a rate of 2.13 per 100,000 children in the national population” (Greenberg & Lopez, 2014). In my opinion, this statistic is outrageous for a nation that prides itself in being the land of the free. The fatalities that have occurred from child abuse and neglect do not represent freedom at all. There are a number of human services professionals dedicating their careers to…

In the world today there are a total of 300,000 child soldiers in use. Not only that but also, 40% of militias, military, and terrorist groups use children . The problem with all these child soldiers is not only getting rid of them but also whether or not they should not be punished. They should be given amnesty because, they are forced into this life, put on narcotics by the leaders, and brainwashed to believe what they're doing is right.

Deception can be used in two ways, to protect or intentionally hurt someone (Healthofchildren.com, 2015). Using it can either get you into trouble or actually save you.
