Amount of child soldiers.........?

there are a ton of child soldiers fighting in the war. That is just not right if i had a say it is plain cruel! There is a large amount in sierra leon as well as worldwide. In only sierra leon there is 10,000 child soldiers. Now thats alot! Now worldwide there is 300,000 holy cow!And Another 500,000 are in paramilitary groups. About 30% of armed groups use children.
