They are enslaved by fishermen who buy these kids to do the fishing to maintain the fisherman's business. They eat one meal a day, are sent out at 4:30am in the dark in boats to catch fish.
Jammie... I didn't see it but I heard it was a real tear jerker...

Re: News Stories Around The World

Slavery is legal in the U.S. We call them migrant workers. Evil has been pervasive throughout the world ever since you opened that damn box.

Pandora I have studied greek mythology a bit and when hope was released it was not seen as a good thing. It was represented as the greatest evil of all. Hope made man think he could overcome the insurmountable evil. He could not.
