Slavery still stands?!

In Ghana, a country in Africa, people are in poverty with just $1.25 to spend everyday, so some people exploit this and take boys of the street as young as 10 and force them to work on a farm. They weren't given food and were little to no time to sleep. If they were sick, they wouldn't be given any care, if they didn't do what they were told, they would be beaten, and if someone they tried to escape, the farm owner would kill  them. Women are also taken of the streets and used for prostitution. If you want to learn more, watch this video on cnn.com.

    I think that it is very sad that people have that little amount of money to live off of an its sad that people will exploit this. All of these people that are doing this sort of thing should get arrested to me I would put them in jail for life but that's just my opinion.
