Child Soldiers Deserve Amnesty Essay
Child soldiers are a huge problem in the world. Child soldiers are kids who are under the age of 18. Not all of them fight in war but some are used as cooks, suicide bombers, messengers, spies, human shields, guard prisoners, domestic servants and almost always used for sexual purposes. Anyone over the age of 16 who has killed someone in war, does not deserve amnesty, but those who have not killed anyone in any age deserve amnesty. A reason why people over the age of 16 do not deserve amnesty is because they are old already basically already young adults and know what they’re doing. If they go out in the world with this bad of a background story and what they’ve came from with all the things in the war who knows what they would do out

in the world where there is no where. Just think of it they know hand to hand combat more than other people and know where the weaknesses are in the body and know how to kill someone. With that being said that shows that people are not safe with them roaming around the world because of how dangerous they are.
Another reason i have is that Soldiers of any age who have not killed someone deserve amnesty. I say that because those who have not killed anyone in war will probably not kill anyone in the world that is not a war. They don't have that type of mindset and don't know how it feels to kill someone and all the thoughts and guilt going through their mind, The human brain is coded for compassion, for guilt, for a kind of empathic pain that causes the person inflicting harm to feel a degree of suffering that is in many ways as intense as what the victim is experiencing.

People will say those soldiers who have killed someone and is under that age of 16 do not deserve amnesty because they killed someone also.
It is different for those kids who are under that age, They are abducted, abducted from their own homes at night, abducted right out of school, soldiers would surround the school go in and kill or hurt the teacher and take kids. They also will also go telling kids they will go on an adventure and end up in a war. A 13 year old girl said “At the age of 13 I joined the student movement, I had a dream to be able to contribute many things so children would not be hungry, When i arrived i found out that girls were obliged to have several sexual relations and they abused me, they trampled my human dignity and above all they did not understand i was a child and had rights.” With that quote it says when kids are not abducted but when they join a “group” for the good they get something out of the unexpected.
In some countries they use something called “Brown Brown” which is a mixture of gunpowder and cocaine they would be slit into their wrist or into the temple in their head. A boy described it like “Gunpowder gives you more energy like with the desire to kill the troops that are passing in front of you, you say to yourself i hope they come my way and you load op and you shoot off and you feel more capable with better
morale.” Some other people may ask how will you know if someone killed someone or not and separate them from those who deserve amnesty and those who don't. Well knowing how obedient kids and how they do nearly everything you say and with them being under some type of pressure they will most likely be 100% honest. We will ask those kids can ask who killed someone and who hasn't. We know we won't get everyone who has killed someone over the age of 16 but it's better getting most than only a couple who are on the streets and out with everyone else who dont know and havnt seen the things they seen.
I believe that with all these things that are stated that child soldiers who kill have killed someone in war over the age of 16 should not be set free as a normal bystander out in the world outside of war and should not be out in the streets.
