Most
boys and girls are lucky. They live with their mothers and
fathers and their brothers and sisters. They go to
school. They have time to play.
Many
other boys and girls are not so lucky.
Every
year thousands of boys and girls are taken away from their mothers
and fathers and their brothers and sisters.
They
are taken by gangsters.
The
gangsters take them from school. They take them while they
are playing football. They take them when they are playing.
Many
never see their mothers and fathers or brothers and sisters again!
Their
fathers come looking for them, but they rarely ever find them.
If
they do find them, the big boss of the gangsters sends his men to
beat up or kill the child's father.
What
does the big boss and his men do to the boy or girl?
Find out on the next page.
They
start a lifetime of hard labor in the factories, fields and dingy
workshops of Asia, Africa and South America.
These
children are the most vulnerable to cruel, harsh and systematic
exploitation.
It
grinds down their hope.
It
denies them their childhood.
