Child Soldiers

Fri Mar 28, 2008, 9:30 AM
The following are statistics given to the UN Security Council by Secretary-General Kofi Annan...

1.)There are between 300,000 to 500,000 child soldiers in our world.
2.)Many of these children are between the ages of 7 and 17.
3.)Over 50 countries recruit child soldiers.
4.)Most child soldiers under 15 are recruited by force by non-governmental forces.
5.)Most child soldiers under 18 are recruited by force by governmental forces.

Many of these child soldiers are given a mixture of drugs called "brown-brown", which is a mixture of gunpowder and cocaine. Which causes the children to be more docile, have feelings of invulnerability. This allows those who give them orders to tell them to do anything and have these child soldiers obey.

My newest project is currently called "Terror Operations". My goal here is to raise the awareness of child soldiers and call people to demand something be done about this.

The US itself is not immune to the recruitment of child soldiers. A teenager, with parental consent, may join the US Armed Services at the age of 17.

What I'm looking for are younger people to act as models in simulated combat situations for photographs. Please message me if you're interested in being in one of these photos.
