“You can be recruited at any time, by anyone, and at any age”
"They are kinda being exploited because they don't really have a choice. If they want things to run smoother for them in their community then it's better that they go and do this because it might give them some immunity."
Drug cartels use children to smuggle drugs all the way to selling the drugs.
Children are often not as capable of running away from bad decisions as adults are and are more prone to say yes because of the money they are offered, which doesn’t add up to the prices they are gonna have to pay later on.
It's time we put a stop to this.

Child and Drug Trafficking is a huge problem and I hope that when you reach your goal more people will understand the issue.
This petition is simply to raise awareness of the issue, and hopefully if we achieve our goal then it could be sent to larger corporations, like the UN, to provide support regarding child drug traffickers.
I really think this is a good cause to pay attention too
this is really good that you are raising awareness. Well done!
Hope you achieve your goal! Used my other account for you. :)
Hope you achieve your goal! This is a really serious problem that needs to be stopped. I hope we can all end this once and for all.
