I agree again McG.

Meanwhile,
Thousands of children have been killed in unrest in Syria since March 2011, according to a new UN report on children and armed conflict.

... children in Syria were suffering "maybe the heaviest toll" in the world, said UN special representative Leila Zerrougui, who presented the findings.

"They are killed, they are maimed, they are recruited, they are detained, they are tortured", she told journalists in New York.

The report accused Syrian troops of torturing children suspected of having links to rebel groups.

But it said armed opposition groups, including the Free Syrian Army, were also using children, both in combat and in support roles such as transporting supplies and loading cartridges.

More than 80,000 people are thought to have died in the Syrian conflict, and some two million children are in need of assistance, according to official estimates.
