Child Slavery



We did this because we are learning about slavery and human rights.

Here is a seel paragraph about child slavery


Children are used in war because they are orphans. Because the people's families were
killed by a warlord (power crazed person) and the the children were kidnapped and  they became
slaves people sold the children and other people bought them some of them probably rebelled

families were murdered and wanted to return the favor.
