They are easy to control and many times they are drugged to make them do things that they may not want to do. Sometimes they are sold into the slavery by the parents to the army. The children are also considered expendable and in third world countries life is not valued as highly as it is in first world countries. Many children are also homeless and easy to "pick up" without any one caring, thus, they become soldiers.
