Children of War

Children of war.

In some countries, like Bosnia, Liberia, or Afghanistan, Children are one of the main victims of war.

This beyond inhuman cruelty that is turning the world into a savage wilderness will, not might, corrupt the world and bring violence and death. If children are loved and valued, why are they being used as cannon-fodder?

Children have always been caught up and/or used in warfare. Usually they do not have much choice but to go through, at least, the same horrors as their parents. In war, 2 million children were killed, 4 to 5 million disabled, 12 million left homeless, more than 1 million orphaned or separated from their parents, and some 10 million psychologically traumatized.

Young children are also used as soldiers! children have been involved in military campaigns for centuries as child ratings on warships or as drummer boys on the battlefields of Europe.

Many children suffer appalling violence as soldiers, but even those who remain ‘civilians’ can be subjected to horrific experiences. Anything that can be done to adults, however monstrous, can also be visited on children. Children have been tortured as part of collective punishments for whole communities, or as a means of extracting information about peers or parents. They have also been tortured as a way of punishing their parents, or in some cases simply for entertainment. Once immersed in this savage environment, differences of age soon seem irrelevant.

Please. Stop this inhumane madness. The children of this world is also the future of this world. do you want our future to be death, violence, and torture? stop this cruelty, children are extremely important in the survival of the world. they have feelings!
