Child Soldiers

Child slavery is a huge problem, but not that many people know about child soldiers. Child soldiers ties into child slaves, because children are stolen from their families and forced to work for soldiers in war. When children are taken the soldiers will usually use drugs to convince them to fight and kill, the soldiers would cut the child's leg, arm or any other part of their body and pack the wound with drugs like powdered cocaine, cut with powder from gun cartridges (a smokeless gun powder). They did this to the child to mess up their brain, it's something like brainwashing them. The soldiers would then teach the children to do things like how to hold and fire a machine gun. A lot of times in wars they would use child shields, if you don't know what it is, it is that when the soldiers didn't have any shields or shield vests they would use children or other people and hide behind them from the bullets as a shield. Child soldiers were also used as mine detectors, mine detectors were people who used a long knife or sharp stick and pock in the ground, and if they hear a metallic sound they would know if a mine was there, they would then dig it up. The bad things about mines is that when you step on it you press this little button on the top, and when you take the weight off the button then the mine would explode, they used children because if one child dies then they would just put another one down there.

Child slaves

Even though it is illegal to have slaves, there is even more slaves in the world than there was before the law was set. So far the recognized types of child slavery include child abuse, child labor, child prostitution and child trafficking. Doesn't that sound sad, think of it, you were walking to the store to get some food for your family, when some people in a car come and steal you right on the spot, next thing you know is that you have chains on your ankles and/or wrists and are forced to work for someone. A lot of times they are children (who can't defend themselves) are stolen and forced to work for maybe around 16 hours a day, no breaks and some poor children are taken to work in cellars with just enough light to work in. They are hardly fed any food or water and are only fed enough to keep them working for the rest of the day. Some slaves get Sundays off but that is very little chance, most are not paid. Let's say there is this slave and her name is...... Sara, Sara has to work in a small cramped cellar, no fresh air and just enough light to do her work. There is a few other girls and boys in that room too, Sara and the other children make clothing and if they don't make the amount their master told them to make they could be whipped, beaten and even killed. The children are always scared and will probably never see their family's again. How will you feel if this ever happened to you? Sadly there are so many child slaves that are forced to work today.
