Child monks recruiting in Sri Lanka should be banned...People should get converted as Budhist monk only after they turn an adult at 18 years where they realy know the implecations of being a therewada monks...all under 18 monk conversion should be made a crime
There are many regular instances in Sri Lanka where these kid monks are *Sexualy* abused by Old Monks in Lankan Viharas. UNICEF officials in Sri Lanka should be held responsible for not controlling this critical issue with International Law.
-----------------------------------------------
Recruiting Child soldiers is a criminal offense in any country but No law to prevent recruiting children old as 7 years (shave their heads cover with saffron robes) as Buddhist monks.
Every year in Sri Lanka hundreds of kids are made child monks before they are matured to know and understand what process they are going through in life and the implecations in social life.
These children when grown become thug / criminal monks like JHU monks. This is a big disgrace to Buddisam, to have criminal monks. International community should look into this issue of child abuse process in sri lanka and control it with necessary law. UNICEF officials should look this as a major child abuse issue in Sri Lanka

In addition to the child abuse sated in the above link by sinhalayas now they are making suicide bombers with 15 years old partly disabled sinhala children........these two type of child abuse by sinhala terrorists should be taken up with UN and UNICEF by Lankan Tamils
