Nicholas D. Kristoff
'Every Parent's Nightmare'
The New York Times
March 13, 2016

Nicholas D. Kristoff's article, ' Every Parent's Nightmare', asserts that society is averting their eyes to the exploitation of children. Kristof backs up this claim by telling the stories of families who have gone through "every parent's worst nightmare" and had their child sold into slavery. Kristen's purpose is to point out the ways in which society has let down the children of this generation and how the time has come to put an end to child slavery. Given the emotional language used in this article, Kristoff is writing to the nation as a whole; he is to the point and lays down the tragic facts of what is going on in the world around us.

  1. Kristoff,
    I did enjoy reading this article, no matter how somber, it was interesting. I had no idea that there was a website like Backpage; it was an eyeopener. I would like to know what made you write about this topic though.
