Why did the parents do this to their child?

Would you ever smuggle your child somewhere if it meant that they would have a better life in a different country?

  • Well done!

  • I would definitely want what's best for my child, but I don't know if I would go that far

  • They did this so their kid had a better life because where live is not good.I would try to smuggle my child if it meant for my child to have a better life.

  • I think that maybe they weren't living a good life so they tried to go somewhere else to live a better one. I don't think i personally would.

  • I don't know if I personally would, but I know other people would do this no matter what it takes to get a better life somewhere else. 

  • I think that they were trying to go somewhere for a better life, no matter what it takes. 

  • I think this is crazy that people would actually do that in the first place. They obviously wanted their kid, most of the time you would want to be with your kid. I dont know if I would of done the same thing these people did, But i would try to at least find a way to do this legally..../

  • I know a lot of parents do this to their children to try and get their kids passed the border. I personally wouldn't do this unless it was a guarantee that my child or children would be living a better life. 

  • If it meant that they would have a better life, and I knew that they wouldn't get caught then yes I would, because I feel like everyone deserves a chance at a good life.

  • I think that he was born in a country that they didn't want him to be born in and they didn't want to go through the long process of getting the kids new lives in Spain.
