Today’s Video: Abuse by humanitarians

A report published today by a British charity contends that some humanitarian workers have engaged in abusing children in countries they have worked in. The study from Save the Children UK looked at the Ivory Coast, southern Sudan and Haiti and even found cases of abuse by U.N. peacekeepers.

Below is a link to a BBC News report on the study. (Unfortunately the video is not allowed to be embedded). Though most aid workers do not engage in such depravity, it is vital that action be taken against those who exploit innocent children.
