The Treatment of Child Soldiers

Most people don't know about child soldiers but there are many children forced to do things they would never do if they weren't drugged or held at gun point. Child soldiers are treated very badly and cruelly. If they tried to run away they might be executed or beaten when they were caught, very few children escaped from the camps but many were killed from trying to escape. To make sure the children couldn't escape, the soldiers imprisoning them would make them kill their own families, so if they did escape they couldn't go back to them. The beating of slaves was very common and some slaves were actually killed or died from loss of blood from the beatings. It is very disgusting, but some of the slaves were actually raped if they did something wrong or disobedient. There are many child soldiers in our sad, sad world. If you know of someone, who is mistreated in these ways, you should tell someone and help.
