What is the point of child soldiers?

The reason for child soldiers is because everyone is poor and because a powerful dictator doesn't care where they get help fighting. There is usually a strong sense of nationalism, and those who don't help are viewed as traitors. Sometimes the families might get some sort of pay for letting them take their children to war, but often, there is no compensation other than being allowed to remain alive.
