Example from Sweden

A good article on the general topic

I can't find the one about the US I read, but here's a similar one in terms of burglary.

And an anime? Dude. What the fuck is wrong with you?

There is nothing glorious,nothing anime-worthy about these cases. There are victims on both sides - the crime victim of course,but also the child murderers are often somewhat a victim. They are not old enough to grasp the full concept of what they are up against, they are often first tricked and then coerced/forced, often come from a destitute family and economical situation and there have been cases when they disappear afterwards. A murder is a murder,but often they don't know what they get themselves into.

The only winners are the cartel/gang bosses. As usual.

Hey- thank you for this. I apologize and thank you for the call out. It sounded so fantastical that I completely distanced myself from the fact that these are real children being taken advantage of and used for evil.
