Petition Children should be children, not soldiers.

More details

Children should be children, not wrenched from the arms of their family and forced to be child soldiers with lethal weapons place in their hands and ordered to kill people when they should be enjoying the like of a child, going to school, making friends, and playing. However, shooting and killing isn't playing, its taking the life and scaring the children who are forced to do it for life. they deserve better. War child quotes "children are amongst the first casulties of any armed conflict, the most vunerable & innocent of victims, 10million children have also been traumatized"

I want the government to take action by introducing places and programmes where the children can escape to and be safe, looked after and given a chance in life, a chance to be a child and not a killing machine
