It is never acceptable when a child goes missing or kidnapped. Even though many of us would like to not think about such sensitive issues, the people of Haiti are now suffering the unbearable. Despite having already gone through a devastating earthquake, children are being kidnapped for human trafficking.
Is this humane? Haven’t these people already suffered enough? When will the pain end for this nation? How can people take advantage of such a serious mishap and make it a profitable venture. But is it right to blame the Americans? Maybe it is, maybe it’s not.
But I’m getting off topic, the human trafficking in Haiti. Who is to blame does not matter at this point, the matter now is to find the missing children or at least prevent others from getting into the same fate. Human trafficking might be one of the most inhumane things one could ever do. To take another’s life, as if it were yours to take, to use as you wish. Who are you to play God? When was it ever said you could take something that is not yours?
A child’s life is tarnished, stripped away for the greed of men. For a moment of pleasure, a child’s whole life is ruined. For one moment, a whole family suffers heartbreak, and for what? For what purpose does this happen? I fail to see whatever reason there is for anyone, to conform to human trafficking. We hear of it all the time, we sigh and let it pass because it does not affect us personally. But what happens when it does? Do we expect other people’s pity? Of course we do, but that doesn’t mean we will get it. If you don’t care about something that happens to other people now, why would you expect someone to care about you?
In the end of the day, it is happening, it is all around, whether or not you wish for it to happen or not, whether you are aware of it or not. What are you going to do about it now that you know?
