Luis: Orphaned children may be particularly susceptible to the greed motivation as the groups of armed adults might become the only substitute for parental care in terms of food provision, perceived security guarantee, and a mere establishment of a missing category of an adult-child relationship in an orphan’s life (Brett/McCallin 1996; Singer 2005; UNICEF 2002).
Denise: Last but not least grievance also plays a big role on children joining armed groups. Grieving is a reason why a child would join an armed force; having an important family member passing away can make a child to take arms. In other word revenge can impact a child in order receive ‘justice’ it can be due to inequality, unfair treatment or for revenge because a significant other passed away do to an armed group. Revenge social root cause issues that people feel they need to do in order to feel like a person with more power.
