Children are being physically and mentally abused. They are whipped if they disobey, and they are fed drugs to help them in battle.
2. Children might be scarred for life after the torturous training and battle. They may have nightmares and be very aggressive later in life.
3. Many child soldiers are killed during battle, and many return with illnesses, disabilities, and addiction to drugs.]]> 2017-03-15 13:25:46 UTC https://padlet.com/21rider_faith/ww3j3fax5mvy/wish/160240725 Where does it exist? 21basnett_megan https://padlet.com/21rider_faith/ww3j3fax5mvy/wish/160241071 The majority of child soldiers can be found near Africa and the Middle East.

There is always a chance it could be you or someone you love.

We could also pay for therapy so that they can talk about what they went through in a safe environment, and hope they can slowly return to a normal life. We could try to make laws that raise the age requirement for being recruited. We could also make harsher punishments for people that do not follow the laws.]]> 2017-03-15 13:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/21rider_faith/ww3j3fax5mvy/wish/160242612
