Child Beheading

It’s disgusting to think that someone could actually do that to a small, innocent child caught up in the atrocities of war and the Holocaust.

Every child deserves to live in peace and have no harm or abuse come to them.

This is also seen in America. There are soldiers on the other side of the world dying for the freedoms exercised by Americans. Nobody fully gets why this needs to be. There is no reason or justification for the lives lost to protect Americas freedom, just as there is none for the child's horrible life to protect the Omelas society.

In over twenty-five countries, many children are abducted and beaten into submission to be used in real life wars. A very famous viral video called “Kony 2012” was trying to get people to help catch the Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony, who has kidnapped thousands of children over the past twenty years. Child soldiers are defined as: children under the age of 18 who are recruited by state or non-state armed groups and used as fighters, cooks, suicide bombers, human shields, messengers, spies, or even for sexual purposes.

At a young age it’s difficult to grasp the concept of death, but as time passes, the youth turn into the old and the old turn into the deceased. Whether people like it or not, death plays a role in their lives and it’s something no one can escape. Child soldiers are forced to kill, and if they don’t then they too are killed. Young children are trained into fierce warriors every day, and stopping this action has proven to be difficult. It can be argued from a recruiter that brings in children that children are disposable, easy to train, and almost infinite. Most of these kids never receive a chance to do what they want in life, furthermore it seems like children, especially in Africa, are being picked off the streets they’re grapes on a grapevine. The International Justice System appeals to cases like this everyday, as it can be a struggle to understand if a child is truly remorseful, and if they deserve amnesty. Children who are forced into crime should be given a chance to redeem themselves, as they generally have no intention to cause harm.

For years the use of children in both conflict between states and civil war has been evident, children are being forced by bad people and throughout their false promises. Even this getting too far people don’t know what to do they’re afraid to defend themselves because they know what the commanders could do to them. They think they don’t have a way out. And even the parents are giving out their own children because they

These children have no choice but to fight if they want to stay alive. These child soldiers shouldn't be persecuted because they are just innocent children who had their families killed, their homes destroyed, and now have nowhere to go. Even if these children wanted to leave, they couldn't because if they did, they would just be killed. These children didn't really have a choice to leave or not, but they got the benefit of food, water and shelter but were forced to kill other innocent people. But overall these children were drugged if they didn't fight so that

The system these children are kept in is called the Restavek system and it destroys any child’s humanity. “Approximately 225,000 (5- to 17-year-old) children, mostly female, are restaveks today” (1-Adwar) and they end up “sleeping on the floor..eating leftovers” (3-Chumbow) after working 10-14 hour shifts on a daily and receiving no pay. These children live day in and day out in these harsh conditions, often being abused mentally, physically, and sexually. It is stated that the

America and other powerful nations must come down harder on this issue they need to have a stricter no tolerance policy for child soldiers. I interviewed high schooler Zachary Ford to see if he knew anything about the issue. When asked if he had ever heard of children ages 10 to 15 fighting, he seemed shocked he said, "I've never heard of anyone that young, I've heard of child soldiers, but I never thought they were that young. " I then asked him if he had ever heard of Kony 2012 he said, "I heard about it back in 7th grade but never really knew what it was about. People used to make jokes about it, but I never really understood them until now.

Would you like it if your children where taken from you to become a child soldier, well in Somalia children have been taken to become child soldiers. They are getting prosecuted for it as well, child soldiers should not be prosecuted for this.

“Children are not the people of tomorrow, but people today. They are entitled to be taken seriously. They have the right to be treated by adults with tenderness and respects, as equals. They should be allowed to grow into whoever they were meant to be- The unknown person inside each of them is the hope for them future,” (az quotes). This shows how serious a child should be taken, no matter how rich or poor they are, for they are humans too. When a Jew was living a normal life, suddenly it was all put to an end when these innocent people were blamed based on a belief someone didn’t like. Being tortured and killed after doing innocent labor, the Jewish population was greatly decreased at this time. After the final days, only a few made it out,

There are many different definitions of violence used. The best definition of violence against children however would be a combination of Article 19 of the convention on the rights of the child and the WHO’s world report on violence and health (2002). Violence against children includes all forms of mental or physical violence, abuse or injury, neglect or negligent treatment, exploitation or maltreatment, this includes sexual abuse as well as the intentional use of physical force or power threatened or actual, against a child by either an individual or a group, resulting in the high likelihood of actual or potential harm to the child’s health, survival, dignity or development. This definition makes it clear that violence against children goes

I agree with you on how the children react because they are being punish and second they need the money. However, these children didn’t ask to be born and brought up in that life, so they must what their parents say or what they feel is best for them. In my opinion the big picture is how these children are being exploited by hate crimes from other Europeans and even being trafficking to be slaves. This is serious all over the world and need to be taken more seriously. I read an article that stated that there was a controversy cause by the French mayor Christian Leclerc who was accused of refusing the baby being buried in Champlan

In 2012, more than 3.6 million people had signed a petition wanting the arrest of Joseph Kony. Children are sometimes as young as 10 years old when they are capture or recruited. One problem that comes with being a child slave is when they commit crimes oftentimes they are held responsible. Oftentimes they have to serve the consequence, even though they were not the force behind the issue (Russell).

Violence against children is a phenomenon happening worldwide, in forms of physical, psychological violence. Children are deprived of care, basic social services, health care and education, child abuse, neglect, exploitation, forced to beg, trafficked. Children are still one of the social groups at risk, facing many problems that remain unresolved. Although the consequences may vary according to the type and severity of the violence, the short and long-term consequences for children are very often serious and destructive and are costly. The laws that protect children’s rights are often not effective.
