Re: Don't Say We Didn't Know 229

This is truly horrifying; how these kids suffer such unwanted situation because of war and terrorism we are all in. I couldn’t imagine the trauma that the kids suffer because of physical abuse as well as emotional. I might also add the rape or molestation they’ve been suffering from the hands of this unmerciful interrogator. Is this what we call justice? Hopefully, kids won’t be suffering anymore from this kind of abuses!
