THIS IS SO AWFUL. I cannot believe this. Every time I watch this video, I immediately begin to cry. These poor and innocent children are getting kidnapped into slavery. They do not deserve this. Pls try to donate as much as you can and make a move. God bless these beautiful kids.
wow sad im doing REPORT ON THIS AND ITS JUST AWFULL to see thi\ese sad kids. Ahhh i wish they could come here and take care of them, but people r soo mean these days. i wish ur oranization hope!!
@IanUL2000 getting paid for sexual favors...child prostitution means the parents sold their child into forced prostitution to earn money for the family
The synchronicities of life are amazing to me. I once wrote a song on my guitar entitled "Freedom Trail" and I hadn't thought about it in a while. Last night I created an activism video covering the topics of cyberbullying and child abuse. So, I searched for videos about child abuse here on youtube after making the video and I saw the title of this video and remembered the song I wrote. I consider that a miraculous coincidence. Congratulations on your work. It is much appreciated.
you bastard, how dare you! if it wasn't for the europeans raping and robbing that beautiful rich nation, we all would be in their situation. europeans are the blame for the travestiy in africa and for an asshole like you to think this had anything to do with them is just your ignorance showing. it's great to sit on youtube and call black people niggers, when you know that you bow you head, keep your mouth shut when you see a black man.
The person who pissed you off was very wrong, but you yourself do no good harming the other races. We wont get anywhere trying to prove each's superiority :(
innocence2009 is not trying to prove anything he's simply stating the facts. The problems facing Africa will never be resolved if the true culprits of imperialism are not exposed and removed from Africa....
Almost every child has been disciplined with harsh objects, like belts, whips, paddles, etc. Your pain, my friend, is nothing compared to the life struggles these kids face.Little kids starve while their older siblings wander around the town's dump trying to find something worth acquiring. Girls become prostitutes for a mere meal and to feed their families. People don't realize what kind of situation this is until they truly understand the full extent of hunger.
I think this video is great. It has shown me just a glimpse of a very complex issue and also introduced me to some very brave people who are trying to make a positive difference. It is really inspiring. Thank you for making it. I look forward to more videos in the future.
I was also seriously abused and I recently wrote a book because abuse must be stopped I still have so much hate and I can't find it in me to forgive. A true story about a troubled boy growing up with an extremely distressed family and an untamed mother who suppressed and self medicated her mental illness by inflicting pain on her children! It's a great story check it out at lulu dot com its called stop crying
I was in Sierra Leone with Claudio while he was getting this story, and the impact of personally meeting the children concerned was even greater than you get from watching this excellent video. So much more could be done to help.......its important to pass the message on! Please tell your friends....
You have to deeply admire what Claudio does. As experienced as he is, inspite of the many talented people* he's worked with, he's never forgotten that it's about the story and the people at the end of the story and whether there are solutions.
Above all, as he lends his authorship to this story it's about doing it. Just do it.
Fab Claudio.
*Claudio recently completed the second leg as director cameraman with actor Ewan McGregor (star wars) and Charly Boorman on Long Way Down.

I think this video is absolutely elegant in it's visual style and most moving in how it portrays such a tragic reality. I hope it inspires us all to take action and help.
Nice

You have to deeply admire what Claudio does. As experienced as he is, inspite of the many talented people* he's worked with, he's never forgotten that it's about the story and the people at the end of the story and whether there are solutions.
Above all, as he lends his authorship to this story it's about doing it. Just do it.
