Video: The plight of rented children in Ghana

Children form the foundation of every country and its progress majorly depend on them since they become the youth and later the leaders of the society.

Unfortunately, young ones have been subjected to several unfair treatments which potentially affect their living and shatters their dreams.

As the maxim holds; "Children are every country's future leaders" and so, their lives should be monitored critically through very close lenses so as to ensure that the activities of those who take delight in inflicting pain on them are exposed in broad daylight.

Unfortunately, young ones have been subjected to several unfair treatments which potentially affect their living and shatters their dreams.

This desire to enforce children's well-being informed the decision by Christopher Tulasi, Chief Executive of Truth Productions and a graduate from the Ghana Institute of Journalism to go to the hinterlands and capture some bizarre scenes on camera.

This documentary covers and brings out the realities of issues regarding child labour in which children are used as properties in exchange for goodies could not escape our cameras.

The present day may not be witnessing slavery in its brutal form since it takes a subtle and disguised nature. However, as a victim of child abuse and child labor, the pain and the agony of the rented child is so crystal clear and very fresh in my memory.

The need therefore to bring the existence of such savagery and brutality against children in this modern era was so constantly pressing on my heart.

A true answer to this call gave birth to a journey to the hinterlands of Ghana, where children are rented out to meet the needs of their masters who serve as ' human landlords'.

Purposed to cover and tell vivid and practical untold, but real life stories of humans in order to extend help to needy humans without voice and assistance.

The documentary uncovers the use of children as young as 4 years old in hard labor in sectors like fishing and cattle rearing. Very sensitive to those who are not so much oriented to the hard truth of child labor in most part of Africa.

Where are our laws? Where is the Justice for these children? What happens to parents of these children before the law? And what about those that rent these children and assist the accomplices in the exploitation process? ....As a good citizen of your country, what are you doing about it?
