ABC News Nightline Bosnia Children of War - Part 1 & 2

Description

Casualties of hatred, part one of the "Children of War". Before reaching the age of reason the children of Sarajevo were embroiled in the senseless. Theirs is a legacy of horror in what was Yugoslavia during the war. In this episode of Nightline politics and the geography of the war become secondary. Part two of the "Children of War" focuses on Yugoslavia and the children. At the time UNICEF estimated that 600,000 children inside Bosnia alone had experienced shelling, bombing and shooting at close range. This program examines a different form of violence that has been done to the children of Yugoslavia, the violence of families torn apart, of broken marriages, lost homes, of alcoholism and drug abuse. Also another kind of violence against children, which begins as a violence against their mothers, women who are forced by rape to conceive against their will and, because of religious conviction, bear the children but, because of the shame, refuse to raise them.
