Another Take: Lost childhood - Haiti’s kids in the grip of gangs

Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on February 25, 2025. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed. More than a million children in Haiti are caught in a nightmare, trapped in gang-controlled areas, recruited as soldiers and spies, and subjected to unthinkable abuse. With no president, no parliament, and no protection, their futures hang in the balance. So, who will step up and fight for Haiti’s children?
