The post you are reporting:
Roger, I did not write that there isn't such a thing as child soldiers and child-sex, which are the points Bern mentioned.
But that these practices are not legally allowed in any country.
I mentioned that in Africa, these things often happen when armed militias go to war against a government and an officially recognised army.
Child labour is something else, which you brought up in your subsequent post, but wasn't part of Bern's exposition.
That is a topic unto itself, and it would seem that it is common practice in India and Central and South America, including on plantations that have for decades (centuries) exported their commodities far and wide.
But what relation does all this have to claiming asylum in our Country? Can we just take in tens of millions of children?
Grow up Bern! I mean come off it!
I've mentioned in the past on the Forum that India and some other countries that are often in the headlines as aid recipients spend enormous sums of money on weapons every year, and India and Brasil - which I specifically mentioned only a month or two ago on some thread or another on the Forum - are probably the two countries that have most millionaires - and I mean even people with tens of millions of pounds - in the world.
To solve the probloems of hundreds of millions of children caught up in child labour and exploitation - and also their poor parents - Bern, it would be better to affront the problem in THEIR country, asking THEM to be more equal to THEIR own people.
Furthermore, it is a known fact that tens of thousands of young women who work as domestics in foreign countries have their passports taken away and are reduced to slavery behind four walls.
Some countries most notable for this diabolic practice are Malaysia, Lebanon and Irak, but there are others too.
The victims are usually from Africa and Indonesia.
But can we just sit here and give asylum to tens of millions of people? Grow up!
Shout it out loud to the world, so that all the people in the world tell the societies in the countries concerned to be just and honest to their fellow citizens and not to exploit them.
