The story of the day is of Kony. A man who has been pretty horrible over a long period of time and is basically a wanted man! Child exploitation is just about the worst crime you can undertake. The story of Kony has captured the public's attention, but it's an issue that has plagued Africa for some time. I think it's good that the issue of child slavery has been bought to the public's attention but to rid the world of the problem will involve more than the capture of one man.
I'm grateful that practices like child slavery are considered abhorrent in Australia and most parts of the world. However, let's not forget that abuse of children still occurs throughout the world, in many different forms and everyone should be aware of that.
(And I'm keeping it short because I still can't type properly, but I've got a lot of opinions about this issue!)
