JUAREZ CHILDREN

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can
develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave
physical harm occurred or was threatened.

The violence in Juarez is something that is really destroying
families. I really think that the violence needs to stop, and the
president of Mexico should start acting and should be able to help his
country to be better.

This entire problem about the drug cartel that is going on is many
children have lost one or even both of their parents. It is hard to
experience the loss of a loved one because of people trying to live or
to get money the easy way.

Children get traumatized or also they start developing eating or
sleeping disorders just because of the drug-cartel violence.

Someone should start thinking about how those kids feel and help them
by really stopping the violence.

The children should not have to experience this type of disorder at an
early age. The only way to stop the violence and the children's
disorders is to act about the drug cartel.
