Help take trafficked children in the UK out of the illegal cannabis trade.
The cannabis industry in the UK is under fire for more than simply cultivation of an illegal drug, because cannabis farmers are exploiting Vietnamese children for their own profit.
Young children from Vietnam are trafficked into the UK and pressured to repay their families' debts by working in these operations.
Cannabis cultivation requires strenuous manual labor. The kids, some as young as 13, face appalling working conditions and are all but held hostage for debts their families in Vietnam may owe. **Even worse, when authorities discover the grow operations, many of the children are prosecuted for drug crimes rather than sent home to their families.**
Children should absolutely never be used for slave labor, but even more, shouldn't face prosecution for it.
**Ask Prime Minister David Cameron to put police efforts toward eliminating the Vietnamese child trade instead of toward punishing innocent children.**
