Are child soldiers victims or perpetrators?
Today I have brought some information about child soldier send my thoughts on it and how we should handle it.

Based on the facts and video I watched child soldiers are victims because it wasn't exactly their fault, they were forced to and adult soldiers manipulated them to know what's “bad” and what’s good.

For example in the country of sierra leone in Africa the corrupt government has started and still is collecting child soldiers to help fight in the wars there having with others, like the U.S. This is happening all around the world not just Africa and the U.S is trying their best to help stop the corrupt African government and save the captured soldier children. They have all been victims because the adults tell them this is what you do this is how we do it and if you don't like that you will get killed. They have been taught that for years!
It takes a very long time. It's like training a dog if you tell the dog too sick someone and make it do misbehaving behavior the dog will do it because it’s been told to, it's not the dogs fault its the owner because they have been told what to do from their master. It is very hard to fix that, especially if the dog has been taught that for years, like the child soldiers. The dog would be the victim of this situation. Same with these children, when their young the “master” tell these kids what to do like kill people, they'll do it, they don't know what their doing because they're being manipulated by these evil people. It's not the children's fault they are victims in this
