Amnesty for Child Soldiers

Amnesty is a very complicated thing for child soldiers. I think it should be given to them if they come back to the government after escaping. Just for the simple fact, in example, in Uganda these kids are getting there ears, noses, even lips cut off of them. These kids are getting abused. So after they try to escape from the government, they try to go back home to there parents, the people they once were with. Then got taken away from. But some of the problems returning back home is that, for example, Philip Ludara, Gulu's distrtict coordinator for the Concerned Parents' Association said, "You're trained how to torture. You're trained how to kill. It's all you know," he says. "Fitting into the community is a big challenge." Also your returning to bad conditions, most likely worse that the government controlling you, not the way your being treated, but the way your being fed, housed, etc. Im not saying the government can do those things amazingly, but they can do better than most of these poor families in Uganda. But overall, Amnesty should be provided for child soldiers because they don't understand what there doing, there being forced into it. They should not be held accountable for a war crime, because anyone n this situation deserves a second chance.
