Poverty and the Rights of the Child
This story was about how poor parents over in Ghana, West Africa were selling their children to fisherman for money. These children were from ages 3 to 14, there were mostly boys. The children were forced to go under water and put fish nets at the bottom of the rivers so that the fisherman could catch big fish. These children were totured because they barely ate and for their hard labor they were not piad. Some of them died because they drowned.
I want to know:
How old was the children that died?
&
Did the fisherman get arrested for doing this to children?
&
What did the government have to say about this kind of act?
