In some cases, not all missing children reported that they are running away from home. It is because they might be missing due to the kidnap. Those children who are kidnaped by the criminals might live in a dangerous and awful life. Some of them are kidnaped to be slaves of criminals; helping the criminals to find money just like what is happening in our countries. These children are forced to become beggars and ask donation from the public. In some other cases, we may find out that those children are forced to become prostitutes. This happens mostly in Middle Eastern Countries. The world we live in is no stranger to one of the biggest reasons many of our children disappear without a trace. Many children are abducted and sold for body parts throughout the United States, Central America, South America and Europe. The Internet has become one of the greatest sources of business and the organized underground business is one of the most successful businesses anywhere in the world.

They are often subjected to bonded labor while in their nation or rather conveyed to a foreign country where their passports and any document is robbed from them (Greenbaum, 2017).

The victims are also charged collaborators in criminal cases and subjected to poor living conditions with not even enough clothing to cover their nakedness and protect themselves from diseases such as pneumonia. Food supply for the victims are rare which has subjected majority of the children to malnutrition and increased mortality rates.

The Boko Haram sect in Nigeria has been a huge problem for the country in the past, and the threat is only growing. This group is considered responsible for a handful of government attacks, targets on the United Nations, and often churches who undermine the Islamic religion. Their actions have spawned from the idea that their country is controlled by “fake Muslims”, and aim to create an Islamic nation ruled with Sharia law.

The circumstances that these children are dealing with are dire and need to be attended to immediately. Many of these refugees ( some of them still children) are being beaten and raped by gangs (Palacios). “They are threatened if they do not obey” (Palacios) these gangs.

Imagine having your husband killed during the night, where all you other kids and a pregnant you are sleeping, that is what happened to Falta. The group of Boko Haram took the live of her husband while she was three months pregnant. Falta and her whole family has been sleeping in the forest without barely any essential items they need to survive. After four months without her husband, Falta had a baby. Her delivery was not like regular delivery, she didn’t have any of the basic supplies needed to have a good delivery. I can not even picture or envision having a life like hers, the pain she must have felt having that baby in the unlikely place or a forest. Maita, her little baby became dangerously malnourished from the limited amount of milk she was receiving from Falta. After going to a specialized clinic, Falta and her baby are recovering from the hard effects of violence and hunger in their home of Nigeria (Dwyer).

The country of Uganda is a very dangerous place where many civilians are killed daily and children are abducted and taken as child soldiers. There are many groups that rebel against the Ugandan government one that is very well known is The Lord’s Resistance Army. The Lord’s Resistance group of rebels in Uganda that claimed that the holy spirit has ordered them to overthrow the ugandan government. The most recent known leader of this group goes by the name of Joseph Kony.

This group capture those who can be useful to them, including children strong enough to carry weapons. The captives are tied together and marched to camps where they are violently indoctrinated and turned into soldiers, cooks, or sex slaves. Captives are often forced to

The problem is most of them don't know how much they owe and they won't get told. Most of them just wanted to make money during the dry season to help out with the family living. Instead they were forced into child labor with many others on a plantation in the Ivory Coast in west africa. They spend day after day living with little food and little water or shelter, harvesting beans in the hot sun with dangerous, backbreaking work. With no hope of escape, all they can do is try their best to stay alive and pay off their dues. As the book states “Khadija is the first girl who's ever come to camp, and she's a wild thing. She fights bravely every day, attempting escape again and again, reminding Amadou what it means to be free. But finally, the bosses break her”(sullivan). They always try to protect each other. The old impulse to run is suddenly awakened when others try to escape. They band together as family and try to escape back home. Most of them become family with all the work they do together.

The article, “Boko Haram and Mass Starvation” discusses about a current crisis happening in Northern Africa in the Sahel region suffering from starvation due to raids conducted by the Boko Haram. Recent coalition efforts from the Nigerian army and coalition forces removed major supply lines to the Boko Haram forcing fighters to raid and ransack villages to appease their hunger. The people living in Northern Nigeria with no established supply lines face an imminent threat of mass starvation due to the threats and instability in the surround area. I agree the point the writer is establishing by creating safe, secure farming sectors across the region to feed thousands of starving people and the current top priority of distributing emergency aid
