When child soldiers are caught, they are treated as victims of the generals rather than enemies.

Majority of child slaves are voluntary this is because they are afraid they will be killed by them and it is their best option for survival

Children were used because they were easily manipulated and if they didn't co-operate you could abuse them and they cannot defend themselves

child soldiers have been drugged when entering the army, they end up as drug addicts

Between 2008 and 2009, Unicef saved over 24,000 old child soldiers.

There is a simple reason why child soldiers are used, they are easily manipulated and they don't eat much like adults so they are easier to keep alive.

there are estimated 300,000 child soldiers in at least 20 countries in the world today.                

When the children were abducted  sometimes they were forced to killed their families and friends to get them fired up and ready for the mood of war.

Both genders were used, the boys were used for the fighting and the girls were used for duties such as cooking and sexual purposes. The boys duties in the war are spies guards suicide bombers and human shields. These children are used for the most dangerous jobs.

Child soldiers began near the year 2000 that was when the first child soldiers in Africa were found, most of these conflicts were very violent and eventually the age of the soldiers turned from 18 year old to 10 year old children.
