These perpetrators deceive the parents of these children, claiming they will take care of them, but in­stead, they are sold into different forms of trafficking. In oth­er cases, children are stolen from their families and sold into hu­man trafficking, never to be seen again by their parents. The worst part is that some children are sto­len and sold as camel jockeys to Gulf countries such as the United Arab Emirates. Human rights organizations have been fighting to put an end to this for years, but unfortunately, the problem persists, and the numbers continue to increase. We should strive to bring an end to this mad­ness in our country so that young and innocent children can be freed from such exploitation.
