I have two kids that age (10 and 11) and they lead such sheltered lives by comparison. These children are robbed of their childhoods. You have to wonder what kind of future these kids end up with.. it's so sad. It’s so heartbreaking.. I have two kids that age (10 and 11) and they lead such sheltered lives by comparison.

When I learned about the FARC it was devastating that a person who was so innocent could be made into a shell of a person. Are you aware of very many programs worldwide to help these children?
