    This is super interesting. Do you have any more information about these child assassins? Like an article to read? Or an anime I can watch?

      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.
