What is the What

I was shocked when i read about the kids being used. The way Achak mentions that they took away their childhood, and made them into machines of death, of sympathy, a weapon to attract people so that they could later be killed. Its horrible how these young kids were treated, they had no other choice but to stand these punishments because as a young child they could not decide for themseleves. There is so many heartless people out there.
