(STATEMENT)
Child Victims who have been forced or lured into armed groups suffer a broad range of human rights violations and abuses.
(EXPLANATION)
In 2011 it was estimated that there were 30,000 child soldiers in DRC. Many children joined armed groups in Columbia in the 1980's as the best way to secure food and survival.
(EXAMPLE)
Most children between the ages of 10-18 are used to kill and commit other acks of violence. Where as others are used as cooks, porters, messengers or spies etc. Also children who have grown up around violence see this as a normal way of life.

Child soldiers are still a big problem today in some country's and I personally think that this is not good for there freedom or dose not build all the life skills you need to get a proper job when that leave. And even some children who joined at younger ages dont know much because they didn't get a fare education.
