Terrorists’ exploit from fragile children
Although children’s smuggling just like any other social phenomenon is not caused by only one or more specific reasons, the evidence show that in practice there are some factors which are more determining in facilitating this crime. One of these factors is act of God, namely earthquake. Such factors can cause loads of children to lose their parents and consequently children’s smugglers move to these areas to deceive and kidnap the children whom nobody is worried about their absence. Smuggling these children to other areas is done with the purpose of exploiting them through mandatory jobs, prostitution, selling their body organs and even brainwashing them to be used in suicide bombing. Therefore, it seems that when these incidents happen, there are some priorities such as supporting the children through taking precaution (which has been directly mentioned in article 156 of the constitution) through instant deploying of specialists’ teams who have been trained beforehand by government and introducing the orphans to the farewell organization, also training and giving enough information to children about such hazards either in the form of long term programs or at the moment when such incidents happen and these actions can play a crucial role in preventing children’s smuggling to happen. It should be taken into consideration that in case there is any legal gap in this field, it should be taken care of. In this case it is better that the imposed rules be victim oriented and of supportive strategies. Not mention the fact that the role of police forces is of utmost importance in maintaining the security of boarders and giving services to people. It seems that such phenomenon should be considered scientifically and the comments of social science experts should be utilized to prevent such incidents. To fulfill this purpose there is no solution but entrusting this responsibility to the social science experts.
