Romanian Warriors

I recently was looking through current yahoo articles and one of them was about these two little boys. One of them only five years old, and the other 7. The amazing thing about these little tykes, is that they are incredibly strong for their age. They seem to be literally in perfect muscular condition. At first they look like an adorable pair of youngsters who can whoop the average guys butt at the gym. However what made me upset was that in the video, and article itself there seemed to be no awareness brought to the abuse that these children actually go through. The article takes the standpoint of simply exploiting their children which they state clearly is the intention of their father, who works them out for two hours a day since they were two years old! I think this is abuse in its purest form. I am sure the father wants the best for his children, but he clearly stated he wants them to be superstars. They have already gained quite a following, and I think they should be completely supported or their endless work already. However they are kids and I pray that they have time to just be children. Although I am sure they will appreciate being so ripped when they are older!

Truck Stops, Traffic, and the Son of God

Everyday there are girls being sold for sexual services. They casually walk to truck rest stops, hop into a truck and usually about 20 minutes later they leave. Many of the innocent girls involved require help and feel the longing need to end their suffering. Their called hot lizards, going from truck to truck being pimped and sold, by disgusting middle aged men. However, there is hope for these 'hot lizards.' Apparently the business of trafficing these women is done in broad daylight. The communities in which these crimes are taking place, simply failed to be aware of the problem at hand, letting the business thrive. Still, there are Americans such as Danielle Mitchell who are looking out for the issue, and refuses to let the girls voices go unheard. She's a  humanitarian in the sense that she believes that it only takes one person's suffering to be forced to do something to help. I am sure it is her christian background pushing her to help girls she had never met. She actively pursues ways to help these girls by posting hotlines the girls being trafficed can call. All it takes is a minimal amount of effort to help those who simply can not help themselves. Everyday we are so preoccupied with our own problems. As moral human beings, we need to make the conscience effort to at least recognize the suffering of those much worse off than ourselves, and this is one of the few aspects of religion and christianity I partake with.
