Many children are suffering from child slavery. Children will get beaten everyday and they will get very bad food. Some children even get killed from slavery.
Do children die from child slavery?
In the story "Modern-Day Slaves" one little girl saw her parents get shot and killed. She would not stop crying so they killed her too.
Also in the story "Modern-Day Slaves" a boy named Francis had been a slave for 10 years. When he was 17 years old he decided he was going to escape. He said he would rather die then be a slave.
Many kids get beaten
Also in the story "Modern-Day Slaves" a 13 year old girl named Beatrice had to go into slavery. She worked 20 hours a day without any pay. In 1998 her neighbors heard screaming coming from next door so they called the police. Beatrice was finally free from slavery. She was so glad to be free because she was a slave for 9 years.
