What can i do to help, I CAN"T STAND IT!?

Question

last night i was watching something on the news called

"how to buy a child in 10 hours" and it went undercover on how a man from new york travelled to Haiti and litterally got 3 offers to buy a chile (girl 10-12) for less than $150 dollars, and the man said that after he "bought" her, he could do whatever he wanted to the girl. Then it showed all about modern slavery and how families who couldn't afford their children, dropped them off to work for families in the city who beat them up with whips and electical wires if they did anything wrong. It also said today, there are more slaves than there has ever been in history, which completley shocked me! How come in 2008, there are more slaves than there were on the plantations in the 1700's, and the Atlantic Slave Trade ect., I mean I thought we had learned and evolved from that! I want to get involved and helping with this case. Any ideas!? because unlike hurricane relief or bettter education, i don't think just money will help very much

Answer 1

Maybe there's a charity you could donate money to to help them so they could buy more kids out of slavery. Or when you're older you could "buy" a kid, but help them instead of making them as your slave. Hope I helped. =]

Answer 2

I saw it too and I was in tears. I searched it myself and I found this great charity!

Answer 3

I know, this is just wrong.  There are many stupid things happening in today's society such as teen pregnancy and stuff like that.  I have no idea why there are more slaves in 2008 then in 1700, it's really weird=(  Maybe there is some charity such as the red cross or something like that where you can donate money to those children.  If theirs no such thing, or you can't give them money, all you can do is pray.  I hope these kids and their families will have a better life some day.
