>>713684309at what point are you leaving them alone? because if you leave them alone from birth, they'd die. 3 years old? dead. 5 years old? 95% chance they are dead. 8 years old? higher probability of surviving, not enough information available to say "lord of the flies is a factual account of what would happen". the entire point is that children to be taught and guided, the brashness and wild energy of youth needs to be tempered into something that is not a force of destruction.
>>713684546>I wouldn't give a kid heroin, but if I had the choice between torturing, raping, or giving a kid heroin, I would give him heroin.the point is that it is all bad, you retarded mongrel. saying "they'd get used to it" is not a real argument. humans are adaptive animals, someone being raped daily would come to "get used to it". that does not make it right.
>Bullshit. The ones who do decide to go back to civilian life do just fine. Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mom%C4%8Dilo_Gavri%C4%87_(soldier)so your source is a short and extremely non descriptive wikipedia article about a single child soldier from a hundred years ago that lists numerous times he struggled with dealing with civilized society after the fact? you sure showed me.
anyways, if you want to use wikipedia as a source for truth, just look at the article in the "see also" section: "children in the military"
>Child soldiers who survive armed conflict frequently develop psychiatric illness, poor literacy and numeracy, and behavioral problems such as heightened aggression, which together lead to an increased risk of unemployment and poverty in adulthood.[11] Research in the United Kingdom has found that the enlistment and training of adolescent children, even when they are not sent to war, is often accompanied by a higher risk of suicide,[12][13] stress-related mental disorders,[14][15] alcohol abuse,[16][17] and violent behavior.[18][19][20]
