Just read bout an American who went to Nepal and set up an orphanage and a foundation for children abducted by traffickers. I’m worried how even a 1 minute experience can shape, change or scar my child. What happens to these children is anyone’s guess. Humans are the worst, most cruel and ruthless animals of all. What makes them capable of loving and caring for 1 child and killing another? These children are separated from their parents and siblings, starved, made to beg, or do manual labor in sub-human conditions OR forced into the sex trade.
Is anyone thinking of them when government policies and budgets are made?
Thousands of children disappear from their homes every year, their parents too poor or illiterate or naive to be able to do anything.
I feel that literacy and economic reforms along with very strong law-enforcement is the key to working against these sick people. This should go hand-in-glove with extremely stringent action taken against human trafficking, pedophilia, begging & child labor. These are the “markets” that traffickers cater to.
People should be sensitized to these issues & the government should take action against begging in a big way. We are “EMPLOYERS” of these children if we give in to their begging. That’s the perspective that needs to be taken. If it is lucrative enough to beg, the trafficking will continue.
