Why They Become Child Soldiers
They are put into armies like this:
- They are abducted.
- They volunteer (mostly from 14-18 year-olds) because they are poor and want to escape from poverty or to seek revenge.
- They have run away from home.
- Family tradition/peer pressure.
- They are drugged.
- Orphans or street children so they have no choice but to go when asked.
