Born with a gun

Human trafficking- the practice of recruiting, harboring, and usage of human beings as slaves as a labor force for varying services against their individual wills. Its a disgusting practice thats evolved into an illegal industry. From illegal prostitution to sweat shop workers. Human traffickers see these poor souls the same way a farmer may look at an animal, and sadly treat them the same way too. My knowledge on this immoral and horrific activity is limited.. yet one form of human trafficking I know all well too much about.



Child Soldiers...

The Child Soldier is a horrific and desperate move made by selfish war lords and political extremists who need more "bodies" to fuel their conflicts and battles.

-The children of Latin America, especially in Colombia, ranging from 11,000 to 14,000 children serving in either left-wing guerrilla groups or right-wing paramilitaries.

-Chechnyian children being used in Chechnyan separatist forces in the war against Russia in the first Chechen war. Conducting the same tasks as adults... sometimes even suicide bombings.

-In Iraq, The first U.S. casualty in Afghanistan was reportedly due to the gunfire of a 14-year-old child. How the hell do you point a gun at a kid who would be barely in high school?

The usage of child soldiers is a horrible, horrible, horrible practice. The amount of physical and psychological stress that warfare can do to them. They called it shell-shock in world war I, Combat Neurosis in World War II, now its called PTSD, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. To me, no child should ever go through PTSD, barely born into this world, a child with PTSD can be forever scarred and become both psychologically and emotionally ill. It can be made difficult for them to interact and socialize in society, and moreover make the simplest tasks such as feeding, showering, communicating, etc so difficult for them. They can also fear and distrust all the people around them, which would make aiding them or helping them get over PTSD even more difficult then it already is.

These days war is up and about all over the globe and the ratio between combatant and civilian is out of proportion. As mentioned by another member on this forum, we should write letters, you tube videos, make our voices heard and place our opinions on the atrocity of these practices. Why?

For a Better world, thats why

Going along with this subject there is a group known as invisible children whose sole purpose is to fight the invisible war in an African country entitled Uganda. Children in this country are forced to serve in their radical party's military force. They have been relocated in to hudled masses and no one can be trusted even the military officials who gaurd them the radical view was ince a noble cause but has lost support and the leader has to resort to kidnapping children, forcing them to kill their own parents or friends and then mentally abuse them untill they become cold hearted killing machines they are completely worthless to the big heads of this oarty and by allowing them to live they expect full service. And I mean full no need to say what happens to the unfortunate female victims.

This atrocity is one of the few our government is actually getting involved in. Hint hint they are tryinng to cover up their own.



The world is not a big place these people could affect us. We are all in danger. We always will be. That is life but those who can accept this embrace and come out stringer are those who deserve to be alive. (I am the most violent minded pacifist you will ever meet)

Scary.......I think I saw part of it once, in my head. But the eyes of the child I saw, I can't forget. Cold, ruthless, shocked. The first kill of a child is their own parents.

[nekoteen7189]

Sorry but I didn't follow what you posted could you please elaborate a little

[Ravyn Crescent]

Hehe... Trikari, what therainydog is talking about is an actual event. In many countries, there is this... sick little... system. They take children, sometimes their own, most of the time other peoples, and they force them to fight. They'll strap bombs to them and tell them to run up to anyone trying to fight them. They'll make them lie, cheat and steal simply to survive. This isn't fiction, this is reality they are talking about. Not a dream. These kids are forced soldiers because they're small, they obey usually pretty well, the opposite forces has a much harder time shooting at them, they don't eat as much or need as much, and if they die... so what?

I... doubt very much that their first kill would be their parents every time...


Edited: 7:45 pm (bloody typos)

[nekoteen7189]

Don't mean to contradict you Crescent-san but in what I was talking about yes it was their first kill. And the kids aren't just suicide bombers. There snipers, swordsmen, gunmen, soldiers. They are sent to fight the governments highly trained army and now that they are losing are being sent on manhunts as they killed there parents they feel they have no place to go and obey out of fear.

Its scary too. Kids younger than us or my age are out acting as assassins, in a world that doesn't even know of their pain (hence the name).

It is an atrocity that an activist group has already labeled (Invisible Children) and I was pointing it out because maybe people on this forum could join up too.

I am not a spokesperson for this group. Me and my friends are members and I just thought I'd bring it up.

[Ravyn Crescent]

Oh, my mistake, I was replying mostly about therainydog's post.


I had heard about the "kill the parents" thing, but that is often discredited (atleast at the meetings I attend) as someone started a mass email campaign I actually was victim too a few years back that told all about these children and... it's a hoax... There were pictures, stories... even fake articles that looked like they were scanned in from National Geographics... all fake. We tend to lean away from those stories until we bet more evidence from credible sources, such as freetheslaves.net and ALERT and as of yet, all I have heard is that it's an overdone hoax.

Does things like that happen? Yes... most of the time parents are left alive as they tend to make more babies, so one speaker told me. Have children been forced to kill their parents? Yes. Is it done every time? Of course not. That can mentally shatter a child enough that they seek to kill you for making them slaughter mommy and daddy... it's a common theme for tv shows and stories, but it isn't something many people believe, because of those stories and TV shows, and the spam mail that was sent.

Luckily, it is best to try and keep an open mind... because it may actually be happening. Still, I don't suggest joining other groups unless I hear about them from freetheslaves or ALERT as... I work primarily for/with them.

In this forum, we focus on American slavery as much as possible because there are sooo many groups that focus on other countries, but very few that focus on the children here.

I intended to point out that, and that when she says she saw it in her head, that was not the issue. What theraineydog wanted to start was something he had heard about on television, which HAS credible evidence.

I didn't intend to disprove your point, simply mention that this topic was meant to be about a real event, not something envisioned.

[trikari]

Yeah. I sorta have a weird imagination. When I was very young, I heard this story. In my mind, I saw the worse things that could happen to a child. Call it my imagination or just me crazy but when I eventually started voicing out my thoughts, the pictures became clearer. It was really blurry at first when I first saw it as a child, then it became clearer. I'm planning on writing in my free time on it. Just a little halloween story. But the story unfolded itself. It was a story in my mind. The story of a child that killed his parents.

Then, more plots unfolded itself. It was a story that people won't see. The bad side of the world that goes ignored and more darkness spawns. In the end, the basic story was that the child was kidnapped, trained to be ruthless, forced to kill his parents, and then, turns into a weapon. When the child first realizes how many lives he has taken, he tries to find a way out. And in the end, he dies the villain because he was breeding the evil.

So, the picture I said of the child that I saw in my head, it was just of a story. A part of the plot of life. The child of death.

[nekoteen7189]

Okay cool... i mean cool about the story idea not the concept of the ohh never mind you know what I mean.

Is invisible children really a hoax? I never thought about it that way but I guess its like Global Warming unless you've been there or re the scientist proving it its all down to whether you want to believe.

I am definitely going to some more research now thanks for the thought to think about.


And sorry if this shifted the focus from the main issue it wasn't supposed too really it wasn't and sorry if your getting tired of hearing me say sorry I just do it because it makes me feel better and I usually think that even though it isn't meant for me it somehow is. Kind of like a pet I guess. How the words don't matter but the tone you say it in.

[trikari]

Half-disagreement. It's only how it phrases that doesn't matter much because the words do matter. The reasons why Ravyn has so many people supporting her is because she is using the words in the right way. We are all fighting so make sure we all show care for this subject and that children killing people is wrong.

[nekoteen7189]

I think what i was saying was misinterpreted.

When I said it doesn't matter what the words are I was referring to me saying I'm sorry a lot. And I completely agree what you said about phrasing but that wasn't what I was talking about. Guess I should have put it better (prof phrasing counts).

I'm going to have to work on how I post. I am creating a lot of controversy over small details without meaning to. I was referring to me saying I'm sorry a lot not anything else, in what I wrote in that last paragraph.

And to prove my point (though I really mean it)

sorry for the confusing phrasing of what I wrote I'll try to do better.

[trikari]

It's okay. There are some people who gets into arguments over every little detail. Hence why we have family feuds.

[nekoteen7189]

Nice...

I did some more research... I don't think it was Invisible Children that was the hoax.

www.invisiblechildren.com/home.php

this is where I did the research if your interested

but um if your not that's okay too. I mean I know that we were trying to focus more on North America.

[trikari]

It's okay, if it's about the whole world, it's even better. We're trying to tell people about human traffiking right? It's better if it's about the whole world.
